ZIP4_Footnote_D_Count

ZIP CODE ASSIGNED FOR MULTIPLE RESPONSE Multiple records were returned, but each shares the same 5-digit ZIP Code.

ZIP4_Footnote_F_Count

F

ADDRESS COULD NOT BE FOUND IN THE NATIONAL DIRECTORY FILE DATABASE The address, exactly as submitted, could not be found in the city, state, or ZIP Code provided. It is also recommended that the requestor check the submitted address for accuracy. For example, the street address line may be abbreviated excessively and may not be fully recognizable.

ZIP4_Footnote_G_Count

G

INFORMATION IN FIRM LINE USED FOR MATCHING Information in the firm line was determined to be a part of the address. It was moved out of the firm line and incorporated into the address line.

ZIP4_Footnote_H_Count

H

MISSING SECONDARY NUMBER ZIP+4 information indicates this address is a building. The address as submitted does not contain an apartment/suite number. It is recommended that the requestor check the submitted address and add the missing apartment or suite number to ensure the correct Delivery Point Barcode (DPBC).

ZIP4_Footnote_I_Count

I

INSUFFICIENT / INCORRECT ADDRESS DATA More than one ZIP+4 Code was found to satisfy the address as submitted. The submitted address did not contain sufficiently complete or correct data to determine a single ZIP+4 Code. It is recommended that the requestor check the address for accuracy and completeness. For example, firm name, or institution name, doctor’s name, suite number, apartment number, box number, floor number, etc. may be missing or incorrect. Also, pre-directional or post-directional indicators (North=N, South=S, East=E, West=W, etc.) and/or street suffixes (Street=ST, Avenue=AVE, Road=RD, Circle=CIR, etc.) may be missing or incorrect.

ZIP4_Footnote_J_Count

J

DUAL ADDRESS The input contained two addresses. For example: 123 MAIN ST PO BOX 99.

ZIP4_Footnote_K_Count

K

MULTIPLE RESPONSE DUE TO CARDINAL RULE CASS rule does not allow a match when the cardinal point of a directional changes more than 90%.

ZIP4_Footnote_L_Count

L

ADDRESS COMPONENT CHANGED An address component (i.e., directional or suffix only) was added, changed, or deleted in order to achieve a match.

ZIP4_Footnote_M_Count

M

STREET NAME CHANGED The spelling of the street name was changed in order to achieve a match.

ZIP4_Footnote_N_Count

LOWEST +4 TIE-BREAKER More than one ZIP+4 Code was found to satisfy the address as submitted. The lowest ZIP +4 addon may be used to break the tie between the records.

ZIP4_Footnote_P_Count

P

BETTER ADDRESS EXISTS The delivery address is a match but is known by another (preferred) name. For example, in New York, NY, AVENUE OF THE AMERICAS is also known as 6TH AVE. An inquiry using a delivery address of 55 AVE OF THE AMERICAS would be flagged with a Footnote Flag P.

ZIP4_Footnote_Q_Count

Q

UNIQUE ZIP CODE MATCH to an address with a unique ZIP Code.

ZIP4_Footnote_R_Count

R

NO MATCH DUE TO EWS The delivery address is a match able, but the EWS file indicates that an exact match will be available soon.

ZIP4_Footnote_S_Count

S

INCORRECT SECONDARY ADDRESS The secondary information (i.e., floor, suite, apartment, or box number) does not match that on the national ZIP+4 file. This secondary information, although present on the input address, was not valid in the range found on the national ZIP+4 file.

ZIP4_Footnote_T_Count

T

MULTIPLE RESPONSE DUE TO MAGNET STREET SYNDROME The search resulted in a single response; however, the record matched was flagged as having magnet street syndrome. 'Whenever an input address has a single suffix word or a single directional word as the street name, or whenever the ZIP+4 File records being matched to have a single suffix word or a single directional word as the street name field, then an exact match between the street, suffix and/or post directional and the same components on the ZIP+4 file must occur before a match can be made. Adding, changing, or deleting a component from the input address to obtain a match to a ZIP+4 record will be considered incorrect.' Instead of returning a 'no match' in this situation a multiple response is returned to allow access the candidate record.

ZIP4_Footnote_U_Count

U

UNOFFICIAL POST OFFICE NAME The city or post office name in the submitted address is not recognized by the United States Postal Service as an official last line name (preferred city name) and is not acceptable as an alternate name. This does denote an error and the preferred city name will be provided as output.

ZIP4_Footnote_V_Count

V

UNVERIFIABLE CITY / STATE The city and state in the submitted address could not be verified as corresponding to the given 5-digit ZIP Code. This comment does not necessarily denote an error; however, it is recommended that the requestor check the city and state in the submitted address for accuracy.

ZIP4_Footnote_W_Count

W

INVALID DELIVERY ADDRESS The input address record contains a delivery address other than a PO BOX, General Delivery, or Postmaster with a 5-digit ZIP Code that is identified as a 'small town default.' The United States Postal Service does not provide street delivery for this ZIP Code. The United States Postal Service requires use of a PO BOX, General Delivery, or Postmaster for delivery within this ZIP Code.

ZIP4_Footnote_X_Count

X

NO MATCH DUE TO OUT OF RANGE ALIAS A match was made to an alias street but the primary number was not in the range of an alias. This is done to avoid matching to other streets when an exact match would normally have been made to an alias, but the primary number presented was not in the range the alias was defined for.

ZIP4_Footnote_Y_Count

Y

MILITARY MATCH made to a record with a military ZIP Code.

ZIP4_Footnote_Z_Count

Z

MATCH MADE USING THE ZIPMOVE PRODUCT DATA The ZIPMOVE product shows which ZIP + 4 records have moved from one ZIP Code to another. If an input address matches to a ZIP + 4 record which the ZIPMOVE product indicates as having moved, the search is performed again in the new ZIP Code.
