Service Address Validation Steps

From the Access Ordering landing page: (

Select Service Address from the Pre-Order & Search Tools menu – NOTE: a Service Address validation can be performed by entering a telephone number or an address.

• To Search by Telephone Number,enter the 10-digit telephone number in the TN fields, select the corresponding state from the drop-down list, and then click on Search. (Example: 781-769-5940, MA)

• To Search by Address, first identify the type of address using the AFT (Address Format Type) field; a list of AFT Field valid entries can be found on the following page. Then:

• Populate the required address fields; and

• Click on Search when all applicable fields are populated.

• NOTE: The State must be selected prior to populating the Location Description (LD1, LD2, LD3) and Location Value (LV1, LV2, LV3) fields, if applicable. If a Location Description is populated then the corresponding Location Value is required. Example: LD1 is Box, and LV1 is 1300 for Box 1300. See page 7 for valid LD entries.

A / Indicates the address contains a Rural Route and/or Box Number / fBA
SANO, RR = RR, Route #, LD1 = Box
LV1, City, State
fGTE
RR = Any type, Route #, LD1 = Box, LV1, City, State / fBA
AFT = A, SANO = 1550, RR = RR, Route # = 1, SASN = Route 747, LD1 = Box, LV1 = 1300, City = Shirley, State = PA, Zip Code = 17066
fGTE
AFT = A, RR = RR, Route # = 2, LD1 = Box, LV1 = 49, City = Princeton, State = IN,
Zip Code = 47670
B / Indicates the location is an unnumbered service address
(fGTE only) / SASN, City, State / AFT = B
C / Indicates the address contains an Assigned House Number (AHN)

Service Address Validation Results

A variety of results can be returned based on the TN/address input for validation.

• Exact Match: When an exact match is returned, the complete address is displayed. The ServingWireCenter and Local Service Office (LSO) are also displayed in blue at the bottom of the page. Populate the validated address in the returned fields on the Service Address Location Information (SALI) form of the ASR.

• Range Result Set: When a range of addresses is returned, the system could not find an exact match. Check the address entries, make any necessary changes to the address, and Search again. If it is a new address, populate a Y in the New Construction (NCON) field.

• Alternative Address List: When an alternative address list is returned, the base address has been located; however, sub-location data is required for multi-level structures. Fields highlighted in red identify changes from your original address search. Add additional address information to complete validation.

Multi-Level Structure Address Rules: If a base address shows elevations, the base address must be validated and an elevation provided. Populate the Location Description (LD) fields starting with the largest entry to the smallest entry. (Example: LD1 = BLDG, LD2 = FLR, LD3 = RM) Populate a Location Value (LV) for each Location Description (LD).

• Field Error: A field error occurs when a required address field(s) is blank but is required for address validation. The error message identifies which field(s) is required, and the field name is highlighted in red. Correct the errors by adding data to the appropriate field(s) and select Search.
