Standardized Address

Standardization is defined by USPS as 'A standardized address is one that is fully spelled out, abbreviated by using the Postal Service standard abbreviations (shown in Publication 28 or as shown in the current Postal Service ZIP+4 file), and uses the proper format for the address style.' (refer here: https://pe.usps.com/text/pub28/28api_003.htm)

Example

Non-Mailable Address

A non-mailable address is an address that is considered invalid or vacant by USPS. You should not mail to these addresses.

Example

Moved from Mailable Address

When a donor moves, we will add a note on their Old Address with a reason of Moved. TrueGivers will also include the Move Date and the New Address on the Address Note. You should no longer mail to this address because the donor has filed a Change of Address form with the USPS.

You should mail to this address because the donor indicated this was their new address on the Change of Address form they file with the USPS.
