SoS Address Verification Task

The sos_address_verification task compares the queried address(es) to the addresses on any matching Secretary of State registrations we found, and determines whether the addresses match or not. The sos_address_verification task will return one of the following responses:

Status	Result	Reason
Success	address_exact_match	An input address and an address on an SoS record match exactly
Success	address_match	An input address and an address on an SoS record match
Failure	address_not_verified	We could not match an input address to any address on an SoS record

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 approximate matches to the submitted address to be verified for compliance programs. The most common reason for an approximate address match is when the submitted address and the address we identified are the same, except one is simply missing a suite number. We've seen that this activity is usually just a typo by the end user.
