DPV stands for "Delivery Point Validation," and it's all about making sure your mail actually gets where it needs to go.
For example, let's say you submit an address to be cross-referencedagainst an authoritative database like the USPS or Smarty. If a match is found, you'll get a "Y" saying "Yes! An official match is confirmed." If there's no match the DPV will be returned with an "N" meaning "Not Confirmed." mail cannot be delivered there. "No ship for you."
Utilizing Address DPV can significantly reduce undeliverable mail, saving time, and minimizing costs. Moreover, it ensures a smoother, more reliable delivery service, which is crucial in the ecommerce sector.
There are some other possible responses to a DPV request beyond "confirmed" and "not confirmed." You could get "confirmed with corrections," meaning the system detected minor errors in the address but would still be able to deliver. You could get "confirmed by ignoring secondary information," meaning that the primary address is present, but the secondary information, such as apartment, suite, and so on, was present, but not recognized. You could also get "confirmed but missing secondary information," which is similar, but that secondary information is required in order to mail something to the address.
Finding an address DPV is a breeze. First, select a reliable service provider, such as Smarty, who offers services such as US Address Verification. Using the single address verification tool or the bulk tool, if you're looking up lots of addresses, and selected "view results," you'll be able to scroll down to see the DPV match code.
An "S" means the address was confirmed by ignoring the secondary information, like apartment number. A "D" means the address was confirmed but is missing the secondary information. You may also run into a blank DPV code, meaning that the address is not present in the USPS data.
And guess what? There are 18 DPV footnote codes, and you can get up to 14 of them for one address! "AA" says everything's on point - street, city, state, and ZIP. "CC" means the secondary info didn't make the cut, but it's not essential for delivery.
Phew! That's your crash course in DPV - where mail meets its destiny, and you're the postal superhero.
Excelsior!
