AddressOptions

List options in the following format, with multiple options delimited with a ,.

OptionName:Parameter,OptionName:Parameter

CountryOfOrigin

This is used to determine whether or not to include the country name as the last line in FormattedAddress.

Parameter

Description

[Any valid ISO-3166-1 Alpha-2, ISO-3166-1 Alpha-3, or ISO-3166-1 Numeric code]

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.

DeliveryLines

This options allows you to specify if the Address Lines 1-8 should contain just the delivery address or the entire address.

Parameter	Description
Off	Default. Address Lines 1-8 return the entire address.
On	Address Lines 1-8 return just the street address and dependent locality. It will not contain locality, administrative area, postal code, etc.

LineSeparator

This is the line separator used for the FormattedAddress result.

Parameter	Description
SEMICOLON	Default. A semicolon (;).
PIPE	A pipe (|).
CR	A carriage return.
LF	A line feed.
CRLF	A carriage return + line feed.
TAB	A tab.
BR	A line break.

OutputScript

This is the script type used for all applicable fields.

Parameter	Description
NOCHANGE	Default. Returns the same script that is sent in.
LATN	Returns in the Latin script.
NATIVE	Returns in the native script for the designated country.

EmailOptions

List options in the following format, with multiple options delimited with a ,.

OptionName:Parameter,OptionName:Parameter

DomainCorrection

Parameter	Description
On	Default. Activates fuzzy email domain correction if the domain is a suspected typo.
Off	No email domain correction.

TimeToWait

TimeToWait allows you to select how long (in seconds) that you would like our web service to wait on a single email before it times out. Select a smaller number if time is of essence, or longer if you would prefer more accurate results.

Parameter	Description
# [5 - 45]	Default set to 25. Select how long the web service will wait before it times out on an email.

VerifyMailBox

Express

The Express option will use cached mailbox validations, so any submitted emails will be checked against a database of known bad and known good emails. Any emails that are sent into the EXPRESS will also be cached so they can be looked up during a 90-day cycle. Use this option for increased cost savings or where speed and performance are of upmost importance.

Premium

The Premium option always does the most comprehensive type of real-time checking by using domain-specific logic as well as SMTP commands and other proprietary mechanisms to validate email boxes. Use the PREMIUM option when you absolutely require the highest level of Mailbox verification. Bear in mind it can sometimes take up to 12 seconds to verify an email box. Applications that are time sensitive in nature should be programmed to call the express mode instead.

Parameter	Description
Express	Default. Quickly validates against database of known email addresses.
Premium	A real time check is performed to determine email deliverability.

NameOptions

List options in the following format, with multiple options delimited with a ,.

OptionName:Parameter,OptionName:Parameter

CorrectFirstName

This option enables or disables spelling correction of first names.

A database of commonly misspelled first names to correct the values of the First Name properties.

Parameter	Description
OFF	Default. Preserve first name spellings; no correction allowed.
ON	Allows first name misspelling corrections.

GenderAggression

This option sets how aggressively the service will attempt to genderize neutral first names.

By default, Global Name will assign a value of N when attempting to genderize a first name that can easily be male or female, such as Taylor, Chris, or Pat.

Using this property in conjunction with the GenderPopulation option, you can instruct the service on how much preference to give one gender over the other when assigning a gender to a normally neutral name.

Either the Code or Name listed below can be used to set the action.

For example, Options = GENDERAGGRESSION:2 and Options = GENDERAGGRESSION:Neutral are equivalent settings.

Parameter Code	Parameter Name	Description
1	Aggressive	Aggressive name genderizing.
2	Neutral	Default Neutral name genderizing.
3	Conservative	Conservative name genderizing.

The table below shows how the settings for Gender Aggression and Gender Population affect genderizing:

GenderPopulation

This option sets the gender balance of the source data, predominantly male, predominantly female, or neutral.

If you know that the majority of inputted names will be predominantly one gender, meaning that gender-neutral names will likely be of a particular gender, use this property to set the gender bias while genderizing names.

Either the Code or Name listed below can be used to set the action.

For example, Options = GENDERPOPULATION:3 and Options = GENDERPOPULATION:Female are equivalent settings.

Parameter Code	Parameter Name	Description
1	Male	Bias towards Male.
2	Mixed	Default No bias towards either gender.
3	Female	Bias towards Female.

MiddleNameLogic

Deprecated. Middle name logic will be determined by the supplied Country, enabling simultaneous processing of records from different countries.

This option controls how middle names are handled.

Some names can be ambiguous with regards to the middle word of a full name. It may be a middle name or it may be the first part of a hyphenated last name, but the hyphen has been omitted for some reason.

Normally, the service assumes that, in the absence of a hyphen, recognizable last names in the middle of a full name are treated as part of a hyphenated last name. “Mary O’Malley Kelly” is parsed into first name “Mary” and last name “O’Malley-Kelly.”

On the other hand, “Colleen Marie Sullivan” is parsed into first name “Colleen,” middle name “Marie,” and last name “Sullivan.”

Either the Code or Name listed below can be used to set the action.

For example, Options = MIDDLENAMELOGIC:0 and Options = MIDDLENAMELOGIC:ParseLogic are equivalent settings.

Parameter Code	Parameter Name	Description
1	ParseLogic	Default The service behaves as described above.
2	HyphenatedLast	The middle word is assumed to be part of the last name. “Matthew Edward Jones” is treated as “Matthew Edward-Jones.”
3	MiddleName	The middle word is assumed to be a middle name. for the name “Mary O’Malley Kelly,” O’Malley is assumed to be the middle name.

When a hyphen is present, the hyphenated word is always treated as the last name, regardless of content.

NameHint

This option sets the most likely format of the FullName input string.

This helps the service in cases where the order and formatting of the FullName input string are unclear.

• Full or normal name order is: <Prefix> <First> <Middle> <Last> <Suffix>.

• Inverse name order is: <Last> <Suffix>, <Prefix> <First> <Middle>.

Either the Code or Name listed below can be used to set the action.

For example, Options = NAMEHINT:4 and Options = NAMEHINT:Varying are equivalent settings.

Parameter Code	Parameter Name	Description
1	DefinitelyFull	Name will always be treated as normal name order regardless of formatting or punctuation.
2	ProbablyFull	Deprecated. Will resolve to Varying (Name hint:4). Name will be treated as normal name order unless inverse order is clearly indicated by formatting or punctuation.
3	ProbablyFull	Deprecated. Will resolve to Varying (Name hint:4). If necessary, statistical logic will be employed to determine name order, with a bias towards normal name order.
4	Varying	Default. If necessary, statistical logic will be employed to determine name order, with no bias toward either name order.
5	ProbablyInverse	Deprecated. Will resolve to Varying (Name hint:4). If necessary, statistical logic will be employed to determine name order, with a bias toward inverse name order.
6	VeryLikelyInverse	Deprecated. Will resolve to Varying (Name hint:4). Name will be treated as inverse name order unless normal order is clearly indicated by formatting or punctuation.
7	DefinitelyInverse	Name will always be treated as inverse name order, regardless of formatting or punctuation.
8	MixedFirstName	Obsolete. Will resolve to Varying (Name hint:4). Name element is expected to only contain first names.
9	MixedLastName	Obsolete. Will resolve to Varying (Name hint:4). Name element is expected to only contain last names.

Options
