See if a CRID is associated with a Nonprofit Authorization (NPA) Number
When you presort for nonprofit rates, the CRID used for whom the mailing is prepared must be associated with a Nonprofit Authorization (NPA) Number. Here is how to find out if a CRID has an NPA associated with it (or if you have an NPA number, how to find the CRID associated with it).
Log into the Business Customer Gateway.
Click on Manage Account, and choose Manage Profile.
In the Mail Service Providers section, click on Customer Validation Tool.
In the Customer Validation Tool pull-down menu, choose Nonprofit.
In the Data Type section, choose the CRID radio button, then type in the CRID number.
*Enter one or more CRIDs (separated by a comma) to retrieve each associated Nonprofit Authorization Number, if one exists.
Click Search.
If a CRID has an NPA, it will be listed in the NPA Number column of the NPA Search Results table. Otherwise, "CRID could not be found" will be listed in the NPA Number column.
If you already have the NPA number and need to find the CRID associated with it, select the Nonprofit Authorization Number radio button, enter the NPA number, and you'll receive the CRID associated with that number.
