US ADDRESS CORRECTION CODES

Result Codes Description
Blank or 0 The address has been successfully coded.
1 The address is coded but undeliverable (i.e. on side of street known to contain no houses).
2 The ZIP code was not found and the city and state cannot be used to determine a geographical area to search.
3 Coding would result in changing both ZIP and city.  This is illegal for PO BOX and route type addresses.

8 The street may contain superfluous components which cannot be discarded with confidence.
9 The house number could not be matched.

11 A ZIPMOVE match was made but no exact match could be found in the new ZIP.
