NCOA / CASS Certification Documentation

The post office requires that all names and addresses be run through the National Change of Address file (NCOA), ensuring that records are kept updated and providing for minimal waste in the delivery process. The NCOA checks the current addresses with records dating back as far as four years to ascertain that the current records are correct as a result of address changes. Along with NCOA processing, all mailing lists undergo a CASS Certification. This specially certified software generates an output of address matching in conjunction with current USPS address database files, standardizing formats to secure that the maximum number of necessary changes can be detected. These certifications allow for your mailing to fulfill its potential by reaching its optimum target audience.
