If blank, invalid, or the same as the destination country, then the destination country is not appended to the end of the formatted address. If valid and different from the destination country, then the destination country is appended to the formatted address. US or US Territory: If CountryOfOrigin and destination country being verified are both US or US Territories then the country will not be appended to FormattedAddress. US Territories will have “United States of America” appended if the CountryOfOrigin is not a US Territory, but the CountryName and ISO codes will be that of the territory. Canada is treated like any other non-US Territory.

IncludeRemnant

In cases where Global Address identifies a piece of the input as extra information, we label this as Remnant and can append it to the beginning of the address lines.

This is on by default because it is common to add additional delivery information like Care Of or Attention data, that may be useful and we do not want to throw away. The downside is that this information may not always be useful information, but that is not something we can always determine so we lean on the side of caution.

For example: OriginDateTime:2022-01-13 18:33:16 (UTC-8:00). Note, we need the UTC value to know exactly where the origin time is from. If you do not specify a UTC value, we will assume UTC value of 0.

FormattedAddress	The address in the correct format for mailing from the country specified in the CountryOfOrigin element. This includes the Organization as the first line, one or more lines in the origin country’s format, and the destination country (if required). Separate lines will be delimited by what is specified in the LineSeparator option.
Organization	Business, Company. String value that matches the Organization request element. It is not modified or populated by the service.
AddressLine1	These are the string values that will return the standardized or corrected contents of the input address. These lines will include the entire address including the locality, administrative area, and postal code. If the DeliveryLines option is turned on, only the address up to the dependent locality will be returned.
AddressLine2	Standardized or corrected contents of the input address line 2.

A double dependent locality is a logical area unit that is smaller than a dependent locality but bigger than a thoroughfare. This field is very rarely used. Great Britain is an example of a country that uses double dependent locality.
DependentLocality	Urbanization. The standardized contents of the DependentLocality element. A dependent locality is a logical area unit that is smaller than a locality but larger than a double dependent locality or thoroughfare. It can often be associated with a neighborhood or sector. Great Britain is an example of a country that uses double dependent locality. In the United States, this would correspond to Urbanization, which is used only in Puerto Rico.
Locality	City. The standardized contents of the Locality element. This is the most common geographic area and used by virtually all countries. This is usually the value that is written on a mailing label and referred to by terms like City, Town, or Postal Town.
SubAdministrativeArea	County. The standardized contents of the SubAdministrativeArea element. This is a logical area that that is smaller than the administrative area but larger than a locality. While many countries can have a sub-administrative area value, it is very rarely used as part of an official address.
AdministrativeArea	State, Province. The standardized contents of the AdministrativeArea element. This is a common geographic area unit for larger countries.
PostalCode	ZIP Code. The standardized contents of the PostalCode element. Most countries have some form of a postal code system.
PostalCodeType	This is a country dependent field. This field returns an identifier that represents the type of postal code returned. Currently only the US uses this field. For a list of these codes, see the Product Codes list.

Appended Address Record Elements

Output Name	Description
AddressType	A one-character code for the type of address coded. See the Product Codes for a list of Address Type Codes.
AddressKey	This is a country dependent field: US: This returns a 11 digit code representing the combination of the zip code, the plus4, and the delivery point. This is a fairly good representation of a unique US address and often used as the core of postal barcode. However, this code is not guaranteed to be unique to an individual address, please use the MelissaAddressKey instead for that purpose. It is possible that this field is empty or not 11 digits if the address is a Non-USPS address (link to something about non-usps addresses). GB: This field returns the UDPRN, which stands for Unique Delivery Point Reference Number. It is an 8 character code that is assigned and maintained by Royal Mail to each delivery point address. AU: This returns the DPID (Delivery Point ID). This is a 8 digit number that identifies a mailbox according to Australia Post. The AddressKey can be used by other Melissa Data services, such as Geocoder or RBDI.
SubNationalArea	The standardized arbitrary administrative region below that of the sovereign state. A sub-national area is a logical area unit that is larger than an administrative area but smaller than the country itself. It is extremely rarely used.
CountryName	The standardized contents of the CountryName element.
CountryISO3166_1_Alpha2	The 2 letter ISO 3166 country code value. For example: US for United States or CA for Canada.
CountryISO3166_1_Alpha3	The 3 letter ISO 3166 country code value. For example: USA for United States or CAN for Canada.
CountryISO3166_1_Numeric	The ISO 3166 country number value. For example: 840 for United States or 124 for Canada.
CountrySubdivisionCode	The ISO3166-2 code for country subdivisions, usually tied to the administrative area for a country. The format is the 2 letter country code followed by a dash followed by 2 or 3 characters or two numbers. For example: US-CA, CN-16, or AU-VIC. This field is only populated for the following countries: AE, AR, AT, AU, BB, BE, BH, BR,BS, CA, CH, CL, CN, CO, CR, DE, DK, DM, DO, ES, FI, FJ, FR, GB, GH, GT, GY, HN, ID, IE, IL, IN, IS, IT, JP, KR, KW, LT, LU, LV, MX, MY, NC, NG, NI, NL, NO, NZ, PE, PH, PK, PL, PR, PT, RS, SA, SG, SI, SV, TH, TR, UA, US, UY, VN.
Thoroughfare	Street. The most common street or block data element. This value is a part of the address lines and contains all the sub-elements of the thoroughfare like trailing type, thoroughfare name, pre direction, post direction, etc.
ThoroughfarePreDirection	Street PreDirection. The parsed prefix directional within the Thoroughfare field.
ThoroughfareLeadingType	The parsed leading thoroughfare type indicator within the Thoroughfare field. A leading type is a thoroughfare type that is placed before the thoroughfare. For example, the thoroughfare type of Rue in Canada and France is placed before the thoroughfare, making it a leading type.
ThoroughfareName	Street Name. The parsed name indicator within the Thoroughfare field.
ThoroughfareTrailingType	Street Suffix. The parsed trailing thoroughfare type indicator within the Thoroughfare field. A trailing type is a thoroughfare type that is placed after the thoroughfare. For example, the thoroughfare type of Avenue in the US is placed after the thoroughfare, making it a trailing type.
ThoroughfarePostDirection	Post Direction. The parsed postfix directional within the Thoroughfare field.
DependentThoroughfare	Dependent Street. The parsed block data element. The dependent thoroughfare is a second thoroughfare that is required to narrow down the final address. This is rarely used.
DependentThoroughfarePreDirection	The parsed prefix directional within the DependentThoroughfare field.
DependentThoroughfareLeadingType	The parsed leading thoroughfare type indicator within the DependentThoroughfare field.
DependentThoroughfareName	The parsed name indicator within the DependentThoroughfare field.
DependentThoroughfareTrailingType	The parsed trailing thoroughfare type indicator within the DependentThoroughfare field.
DependentThoroughfarePostDirection	The parsed postfix directional indicator within the DependentThoroughfare field.
Building	The parsed descriptive name identifying an individual location.
PremisesType	The parsed leading premise type indicator within the premises field.
PremisesNumber	House Number. The parsed alphanumeric indicator within the premises field.
SubPremisesType	Suite Name. The parsed sub premises type indicator within the premises field.
SubPremisesNumber	Suite Number. The parsed sub premises number indicator within the premises field.
PostBox	The parsed post box information for a particular delivery point.
Latitude	The parsed geographic coordinate for a particular delivery point.
Longitude	The parsed geographic coordinate for a particular delivery point.
DeliveryIndicator	A one character code that indicates if the address is a residence (R), business (B), or unknown (U). It is not available for all countries. Currently, this field is available for the US, GB, NL and IE with more countries planned in the future. See Product Codes for a list of these codes.
MelissaAddressKey	This is a globally unique and persistent key for the postal address, even if parts of the address change. When an address is fully validated this field returns a 10-digit proprietary unique identifier for that address. With AddressKey (US and Canada only), if an address zip code changes, the AddressKey would also change. Melissa Address Key (MAK) is independent and will not change. This makes MAK a good way to permanently identify and also to use as a value for finding duplicates. Currently, we return MAK numbers for over 50 countries with more planned for the future.
MelissaAddressKeyBase	Every full address has its own Melissa Address Key (MAK). If that address is a suites or apartment, we will also return a Melissa Address Key Base (BaseMAK) that corresponds to the overall building. This provides a link between all the individual MAK addresses that belong to the same building. This field also returns a 10-digit proprietary key. Note, if we can validate the address to the building but not the suite, we can return just the BaseMAK. Currently available for countries that have support for MelissaAddressKey.
PostOfficeLocation	The location of the post office in relation to the record address, if available. This may or may not be used in the official mailing address for the country in question. Currently, these are the countries we will return the data for: Serbia and Slovakia.
SubPremiseLevel	A secondary piece of sub premise information used to describe a more generic division of the subpremise. For example, if you have an address like 1123 Market Way, Floor 12 Apt 25A then the Subpremises will be Apt 25A and the SubPremiseLevel will be Floor 12. This value is not widely used in official address data. SubPremiseLevelType and SubPremiseLevelNumber make up the SubPremiseLevel.
SubPremiseLevelType	Floor. Part of the SubPremiseLevel.
SubPremiseLevelNumber	Floor Number. Part of the SubPremiseLevel.
SubBuilding	A smaller division of the building. For example, if an address has a building name that is a part of a larger set of buildings, then the sub building may be populated. SubBuildingType and SubBuildingNumber make up the parts of SubBuilding.
SubBuildingType	This is part of the SubBuilding.
SubBuildingNumber	This is part of the SubBuilding.
UTC	The Coordinated Universal Time number in format of UTC+#. Note that there are timezones that are not whole hours only, like UTC+9:30.
DST	Y or N, based on if the country or area of the input observes daylight savings time. Note that the value returned by the UTC output does not change based on whether the country/area is currently in daylight savings time for not. We will only return the standard timezone and this flag to indicate is daylight savings is observed.
DeliveryPointSuffix	This is a country dependent field. This field returns an identifier that represents a suffix code usually tied to a delivery point. GB: This is a 2 character (first is numerical, 2nd character is alphabetic) that is assigned by Royal Mail. When added to the postal code, this allows each live delivery point to be uniquely identified.
CensusKey	This is a country dependent field. It is designed to return a code that correspond to the census division information for a country. Currently, this field is only returned for the US. US: The CensusKey for the US is a 15 or 16 digit code that is made up of the following components: FIPS Code, Census Tract, Census Block, and CensusBlockGroup if it exists.

Extras

The Extras section is a place where we will put less used output fields our more granular country specific output fields. This section is structured differently so that we have the flexibility to expand them in the future. These outputs structured as key/value pairs and the output values present in this section will depend on the options you have selected. The output format for this will look like this example below:
