The DPV
®
Product technology available from the USPS
®
provides the highest level of identifying
known address records. When used in conjunction with CASS™ geocoding in MapMarker, DPV
enables you to identify whether an address is a known USPS delivery point before your mailing
leaves the premises. Conversely, you are also able to identify those addresses that are potentially
undeliverable-as-addressed because of faulty address information.
When you geocode in DPV mode, MapMarker checks each geocoded address against the DPV
database to identify whether the address is a known delivery point. The DPV database consists of
over 165 million USPS delivery points, and is made available by the USPS for this specific use as
part of the DPV option.
L
MapMarker installations shipped outside of the U.S. do not include DPV data. If the installer
does not find the DPV data, it can not be chosen for installation.

Using DPV
DPV is used as part of the CASS process to ensure that geocoded addresses are identified as
known USPS delivery points. Geocoding with DPV is available only when you are running in CASS
mode, and requires extra columns in your table to hold the DPV output.
To use DPV, do the following:
1. If you have not done so already, add the required CASS columns to the table that you want to
geocode. See
for information on the columns.
2. Start MapMarker.
