Your address correction service options include:
DataMAX - more...
PacificEast's proprietary address correction and cleaning service. Using our three separate pass technology, we can provide more knowledge about the quality of your name and address data. All data will be compared against the USPS® database and CASSTM certified along with proprietary tools to insure that you only send mail to confirmed mail-able addresses.

NCOALink - more...
Compare the contact data in your database or mailing list against the USPS National Change of Address (NCOALink ®) database and receive updated addresses for any person, family or business that has moved or changed their address listing within the last four years. NCOALink also includes CASS, DPVTM and LACSLink TM.

CASS
The Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS certification) improves the accuracy of carrier route, 5-digit ZIP®, ZIP+4®, and delivery point codes that appear on mail pieces. The program is a quality-control measure that ensures that vendors provide accurate, updated information and services to customers who purchase this information to process their mailing lists. CASS is included in the NCOALink process.

DPV
Delivery Point Validation is a way to assure that each address in your mailing list matches one of the 145,000,000+ delivery points (deliverable addresses) on file with the USPS. Mailer use of DPV, along with corrective actions, helps to reduce the amount of undeliverable mail pieces, which in turn results in more efficient mail processing and delivery operations.
For each address presented, DPV validates one of the following scenarios:
The address has the correct primary and secondary data
The address has the correct primary but not secondary data
The address cannot be validated
DVP is an address validation process, not a address correction process. DPV does not append any missing data or correct any address elements. DPV is included in the NCOALink process .

LACSLink
LACSLink is an address correction service that provides mailers with an automated method of obtaining a new address for addresses that have been converted by local municipalities, usually when a community has implemented a 911 emergency system. 911 address conversions normally involve changing rural-style addresses to city-style addresses, but in some instances conversion may result in the renaming or renumbering of existing city-style addresses. If the standardized address is an exact match to the old address information, the LACSLink system provides the 911 conversion address to the mailer. LACSLink is included in the NCOALink process.

DSF2 TM
The DSF2 Product identifies whether a ZIP+ 4 coded address is currently represented in the USPS delivery file as a known address record. DSF2 contains the same data as DPV, along with address attributes that tell mailers more information about the address. For example, DSF2 tells mailers if the address is vacant, residential, business or seasonal or if the address is delivered to a curb-side mailbox or by a door-slot. This information allows for more targeted mailings.
