Address Verification Task

The address_verification task compares the address(es) submitted in the request to the addresses on any matching record. The address_verification task will return one of the following responses:

StatusResultReason
Successaddress_exact_matchAn input address and an address we identified match exactly
Successaddress_matchAn input address and an address we identified match
Failureaddress_not_verifiedWe could not match an input address to any identified address

For address verification, we recommend a default setting where status='success'. If your use case calls for more granular decision making, you can use the result field. Typically, customers consider non-exact matches to the submitted address to be verified for compliance programs. The most common reason for an non-exact address match is when the submitted address and the address we identified are the same, except one is simply missing a suite number, which is often mistakenly omitted by the end user.
