Enrichments for Australia addresses
You can configure a verifier to include address enrichments in the validated Australia addresses. The verifier bases the enrichments on geographical areas that the Australian Bureau of Statistics defines.
A verifier provides enrichment data for the following statistical elements:
Geocoded National Address File Identifier
A 14-digit code that identifies an address in the Geocoded National Address File (GNAF). Australian government departments and organizations recognize the code as a persistent, unique identifier for the address.
Local Government Area Name
The name of the Local Government Area (LGA) in which an address is located. An LGA is a region that is governed by a local council.
Local Government Area Code
A five-digit numeric code that identifies the Local Government Area (LGA) in which an address is located.
The Local Government Area Code consists of a single-digit state or territory identifier and a four-digit Local Government Area identifier that is unique within the state or territory.
Level One Statistical Area 11-Digit
An 11-digit code that identifies the level-1 statistical area to which an address belongs. A level-1 statistical area is typically the smallest area for which the Australian Bureau of Statistics releases statistical data.
The 11 digits of the Level One Statistical Area 11-Digit code include the values of the larger areas in the statistical area hierarchy. That is, the Level One Statistical Area 11-Digit includes a state and territory identifier, SA4 identifier, SA3 identifier, and SA2 identifier in addition to the SA1 identifier. The final two digits in the code identify the level-1 statistical area. In this way, the Level One Statistical Area 11-Digit uniquely identifies the area to which the address belongs.
Level One Statistical Area 7-Digit
A seven-digit code that identifies the level-1 statistical area that an address belongs to but that does not provide the full hierarchy of geographical information that Level One Statistical Area 11-Digit provides. The seven-digit code comprises the state and territory identifier, SA2 identifier, and SA1 identifier.
A level-1 statistical area is typically the smallest area for which the Australian Bureau of Statistics releases statistical data.
Level Two Statistical Area 9-Digit
A nine-digit code that identifies the level-2 statistical area to which an address belongs. A level-2 statistical area is a physical area that broadly defines a single social or economic community. A level-2 statistical area comprises multiple level-1 statistical areas.
The nine digits of the Level Two Statistical Area 9-Digit code include the values of the larger areas in the statistical area hierarchy. That is, the Level Two Statistical Area 9-Digit includes a state and territory identifier, SA4 identifier, and SA3 identifier in addition to the SA2 identifier. The final four digits in the code identify the level-2 statistical area.
Level Two Statistical Area 5-Digit
A five-digit code that identifies the level-2 statistical area that an address belongs to but that does not provide the full hierarchy of geographical information that SA2_MAIN_NO provides. The five-digit code comprises the state and territory identifier and the four-digit SA2 identifier.
A level-2 statistical area is a physical area that broadly defines a single social or economic community. A level-2 statistical area comprises multiple level-1 statistical areas.
Level Two Statistical Area Name
The name of the level-2 statistical area to which the address belongs. Each level-2 name is unique, and each name contains no more than forty characters. In an urban area, the name is based on the suburb or suburbs that the area covers. In rural areas, the name is based on the locality that the area covers.
Level Three Statistical Area 5-Digit
A five-digit code that identifies the level-3 statistical area to which an address belongs. A level-3 statistical area comprises multiple level-2 statistical areas.
The five digits of the level-3 statistical areas include the values of larger geographical regions. That is, the Level Three Statistical Area 5-Digit includes a state and territory identifier and SA4 code in addition to the SA3 identifier. The final two digits in the code identify the level-3 statistical area.
A level-3 statistical area generally covers a population of between 30,000 and 130,000 people.
Level Three Statistical Area Name
The name of the level-3 statistical area to which the address belongs. Each level-3 name is unique, and each name contains no more than forty characters. SA3 names reflect the names of the cities, towns, or rural areas that they cover.
Level Four Statistical Area 3 Digit
A three-digit code that identifies the level-4 statistical area to which an address belongs. A level-4 statistical area comprises multiple level-3 statistical areas.
The three digits of the level-4 statistical areas include the values of the largest sub-state regions in the main structure of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). That is, the Level Four Statistical Area 3 Digit includes a state and territory identifier and SA4 identifier. The final two digits in the code identify the level-4 statistical area.
A level-4 statistical area contain at least 100,000 people. In regional areas, a level-4 statistical area might include between 100,000 and 300,000 people. In urban areas, a level-4 statistical area might include between 300,000 and 500,000 people.
Level Four Statistical Area Name
The name of the level-4 statistical area to which the address belongs. Each level-4 name is unique, and each name contains no more than forty characters. SA4 names reflect the names of the cities, towns, or rural areas that they cover.

In rural areas, the district might comprise fewer homes and the geographical area might increase.
Mesh Block 11-Digit 2011
An 11-digit code that identifies the mesh block to which an address belongs. Mesh Block 11-Digit 2011 represents the areas that the Australian Bureau of Statistics defined for the 2011 census. A mesh block represents the smallest geographical area that the Australian Bureau of Statistics uses to generate statistical information.
Mesh blocks are building blocks for statistical information rather than areas for which the Australian Bureau of Statistics releases information. The Australian Bureau of Statistics builds statistical areas and regions from mesh blocks. Mesh blocks broadly align with land use, such as residential use, commercial use, or parkland. A mesh block might contain thirty to sixty dwellings, although some mesh blocks are designed to contain no dwellings.
Mesh Block 11-Digit 2016
An 11-digit code that identifies the mesh block to which an address belongs. Mesh Block 11-Digit 2016 represents the areas that the Australian Bureau of Statistics defined for the 2016 census.

Enrichments for Austria addresses
You can configure a verifier to include unique identification codes in the output for valid Austria addresses.
A verifier can return the following code values:
Postal Address Code AT
The Postal Address Code AT is a unique identifier for a current Austria address.
Postal Address Code Indentifier AT
The Postal Address Code Indentifier AT is the Postal Address Code AT of the address at which a building receives mail if the building has more than one address.
Postal Address Code AT enrichment
The Postal Address Code is a unique identifier for the current version of an address in Austria. For example, the following address returns a Postal Address Code value of 105176447:
Plättenstraße 7 2380 Perchtoldsdorf Niederösterreich AUT
Postal Address Code Indentifier AT enrichment
An Austria address has a Postal Address Code Indentifier AT value when the address identifies a mailbox that receives mail at another address. For example, a building at an intersection of two streets might have an address on both streets and might specify one of the addresses as the mailbox address.
Note: The address that gives access to the mailbox is called the Ident address.
A street address that does not receive mail has a Postal Address Code value and a Postal Address Code Indentifier AT value. The Postal Address Code Indentifier AT value is the Postal Address Code of the Ident address that receives the mail. The postal carrier delivers mail to the address that the Postal Address Code Indentifier AT identifies.
The following table lists street addresses that identify a single mail destination:
Address
Postal Address Code AT
Postal Address Code Indentifier AT
Hauptplatz 4 8010 Graz AUT
100001915
100004254
Neue-Welt-Gasse 2 8010 Graz AUT
100004254
Not applicable
The address "Hauptplatz 4" does not receive mail because the mailbox is at another address at the same location. The building receives mail at “Neue-Welt-Gasse 2” and therefore “Neue-Welt-Gasse 2” is the Ident address. The Postal Address Code Indentifier AT is the Postal Address Code AT of the address that receives the mail. The Postal Address Code value for the Ident address is 100004254.
Enrichment for Belgium addresses
You can configure a verifier to add the National Institute of Statistics (StatBel) or NIS Code as an enrichment to validated Belgium addresses.
NIS codes are five-digit codes that uniquely identify geographic areas in Belgium. If you enable enrichment for Belgium, a verifier returns a nine-digit code that contains the five-digit NIS code and a four-digit Neighborhood ID.
For example, a verifier returns 21004A001 as an enrichment to the following address:
Rue au Beurre 1 1000 Bruxelles BEL
In this example, 21004 is the NIS code and A001 is the Neighborhood ID.
Enrichments for Brazil addresses
You can configure a verifier to include the Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) Code as enrichment to validated Brazil addresses.
The IBGE code is a seven-digit numeric code that identifies cities and states in Brazil. The IBGE code is useful for e-commerce operations as you can use this code for taxation and audit purposes.
Example 1. Example: Institute of Geography and Statistics Code
When you validate the following address with the address enrichment enabled, a verifier returns an IBGE code of Institute of Geography and Statistics Code: 2606101 as an enrichment to the validated output.
Rua da Matriz 9 Centro Glória do Goitá-pe 55620-000 Brazil
Enrichment for Czech Republic addresses
You can configure a verifier to add RUIAN ID codes as an enrichment to a valid Czech Republic address. The Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre (ČÚZK) maintains the RUIAN code data.
The RUIAN ID enrichment comprises the following codes:
•RUIAN Delivery Point Identifier. Uniquely identifies the address delivery point.
•RUIAN Building Identifier. Identifies the address to building level.
•RUIAN Building Entrance Identifier. Identifies the building entrance.
The database for the Czech Republic includes RUIAN Delivery Point Identifier and RUIAN Building Identifier values for ninety-nine percent of Czech Republic addresses. The database includes RUIAN Building Entrance Identifier values for a small percentage of addresses.
Example 2. Example: RUIAN ID Codes
The supplementary database stores all types of RUIAN ID data for the following address:
Musorgského 320/2 Kohoutovice 623 00 Brno 23 CZE
A verifier returns the following RUIAN ID codes for the address from the database:
RUIAN Delivery Point Identifier: 19382481 RUIAN Building Identifier: 19204035 RUIAN Building Entrance Identifier: 76838
Enrichments for France addresses
You can configure a verifier to include the INSEE-5 Code and the INSEE-9 Code in the validated output for France addresses.
The INSEE code is a numeric indexing code that the French National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) use to identify entities such as French communes and departments. INSEE codes are particularly helpful in uniquely identifying French communes that share the same name, spelling, and pronunciation. Of a five-digit INSEE code for a commune, the first two digits represent the department and the last three denote the commune. INSEE codes are also used as National Identification Numbers for French citizens.
The INSEE-9 code is also known as the IRIS code. IRIS stands for aggregated units for statistical information in French, and represents a demographic group that contains a maximum of 2000 people. France is composed of around 16,100 IRIS units including 650 units in overseas departments.
For example, you receive INSEE-5 Code 47001 and INSEE-9 Code 470010115 when you validate the following France address:
6 RUE DU PUITS DU SAUMON 47000 AGEN FRA
Enrichments for Germany addresses
You can configure a verifier to include multiple address enrichments in validated Germany addresses.
You can configure a verifier to include the following enrichments in validated Germany addresses.

Locality Identifier DE
The Locality Identifier DE is a variable length code that uniquely identifies a locality in Germany.
Street Identifier DE
The Street Identifier DE is a variable length code that uniquely identifies a street address in Germany.
Street Code
The Street Code is a three-digit code that identifies a street in Germany. Positions 6, 7, and 8 of the Frachtleitcode or Freight code form the street code. A street code value of 994 indicates that the address points to a packstation.
For example, when you validate
Röntgenstr. 9 67133 Maxdorf Germany
A verifier returns the following additional information in the validated output:
DEU_AGS: 07338018 Locality Identifier DE: 68015519 Street Identifier DE: 100560690 Street Code: 057
Enrichments for Italy addresses
You can configure a verifier to add ISTAT code data as an enrichment to a valid Italy address. The ISTAT code contains a series of values that identify the province and municipality to which the address belongs. The Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) maintains the ISTAT codes.
For example, the ISTAT code for the city of Venice is 027042.
Enrichments for Japan addresses
You can configure a verifier to add enrichments to valid Japan addresses.
A verifier offers the following enrichments for Japan:
•Choumei Aza Code JP
•New Choumei Aza Code JP
•Current Choumei Aza Code JP
•Gaiku Code
Choumei Aza Codes
A Choumei Aza code is an 11-digit string that represents an address to delivery-point level in Japan. When Japan Post updates the address information for a delivery point, Japan Post also issues a new Choumei Aza code for the delivery point. Therefore, a delivery point might have a current address and one or more legacy addresses and a corresponding set of current and legacy Choumei Aza codes.
You can submit a Japan address in batch or interactive mode and return one or more Choumei Aza codes that represent different versions of the address.
A verifier returns the following types of Choumei Aza code:
Choumei Aza Code JP
The code that corresponds directly to the validated version of the address that you submit.
New Choumei Aza Code JP
The code that corresponds to the next iteration of the input address that you submit. For example, if you enter the first or oldest version of the address, the New Choumei Aza Code JP value that the verifier returns represents the second version of the address.
Current Choumei Aza Code JP
The code that corresponds to the current version of the address that you submit.
Example
The Japan reference data contains the current version of an address and two older versions. You have the first or oldest version of the address. You select the Japan enrichments, and you submit the address in batch mode. A verifier verifies the address and returns the Choumei Aza code enrichments.
Note: The New Choumei Aza Code JP returns the Choumei Aza code for the update that directly followed the address that you submitted. You can rerun the steps with the New Choumei Aza Code JP value to find each version of the address in the reference data.
Gaiku Code
A Gaiku code is a four-digit code that identifies a city block in Japan.
Append the Gaiku code to a current Choumei Aza code to create a 15-digit string that you can submit in address code lookup mode to find an address.
Enrichments for Poland addresses
You can configure a verifier to include the Gmina Code PL, TERYT Locality Identifier PL, and TERYT Street Identifier PL as enrichments for validated Poland addresses.
Official Register of the Territorial Division of the Country (TERYT) is the agency responsible for identifiers and names of territories, localities, roads, and buildings in Poland. Gmina is the Polish equivalent of communes or municipalities. TERYT assigns and manages Gmina code and TerytIDs.
For example, when you validate
ul. Laskowa 1 50-510 Wrocław POL
A verifier returns the following enrichment values:
Gmina Code PL: 2183 TERYT Locality Identifier PL: 0986544 TERYT Street Identifier PL: 10666
