Address Matching Tips

When matching an address, keep in mind that some common errors in addresses:

1. Wrong or Missing ZIP Codes
2. Wrong spelling of street names
3. Wrong numbers.
4. Don't include unit / Apt / Suites / Spaces / Room Number or anything similar.
5. Don't include strange characters in address field such as # or dashes (-)
6. Although some address will have Units, Apt, Suites, or Room number, it is not necessary for address match so deleting it will sometime help the application to find the address.
7. The address is NOT in the County of Los Angeles.

 And finally, if the address is correct and is in LA County but you still can’t match it, it is probably an address in a new developing area of Los Angeles.In which case you can continue on to the next address.

HINT:  Go to http://maps.google.com or www.bing.com/maps to look up the address and see if it is a valid or good address most often times you can find what is wrong with the address so you can correct it in the address locator to try to match the address.  Sometimes you can even put the nearest intersection in the address locator to match the address (example: Maple St & W 142nd St) use the “&” for intersection.

TRICKY STREET NAME:  Of course some addresses are trickier than others, you will probably have to delete certain parts of the street names or put in spaces to split the street name.
