What is CASS Certified Address Validation?

The CASS™ software certification program from the USPS provides hardware and software developers, service bureaus, and commercial mailers a common measure by which to test the quality of address-matching software. Software tests for CASS™ certification are graded by the U.S. Postal Service Addressing and Geospatial Technology (AGT) office and the results are returned to the developer to provide useful diagnostics for correcting software deficiencies.

CASS™ enables the Postal Service™ to evaluate the accuracy of address matching software programs in the following areas.

5-digit coding
ZIP + 4/ delivery point (DP) coding
Carrier route coding
DPV^® or DSF^2®
LACS^Link®
Suite^Link®
eLOT^®
RDI™

CASS™ allows developers, vendors, and mailers the opportunity to test their address-matching software packages, and after achieving a specified percentage of compliance to be certified by the Postal Service. CASS™ enables mailers to measure and diagnose commercially available address-matching software packages.

The following AccuZIP applications are CASS™ Cycle O Certified:

"I recently ended probably the most helpful chat ever with your employee Aurora Crouch! She was so extremely thorough and made sure that the install and setup of Accuzip was ready to go. She was also so patient and polite as I fumbled around trying to remember how a PC works! I honestly can't say enough about how amazing and helpful and kind she was! I appreciate her help so very much, she is a great employee and makes it so easy for people like me (who have no idea what they are doing) to get things set up as they need to be. Thank you so much for all of your help and for having someone like Aurora on staff, she is literally a godsend!"
