RR/HC Lookup
CASS Standardize and DPV®Confirm

Rural route lookup has a field for the postal RR/HC name and a field for the box number. Both fields and all city / state-code / ZIP Code™ criteria are used to limit the postal RR/HC candidate list.

"MONTGOMERY AL" has 45 postal rural routes but only one has the BOX number 516, displayed in the first row. The rural route lookup clue is explained later.

Rural Route Lookup Window

The rural route lookup window lists RR/HC candidates and integer and alphanumeric rural route absolute ZIP+4™ box number ranges. The ZIP Code column includes the five-digit ZIP Code and will include the ZIP+4 add-on if a range match was made. Rural routes without ranges only have a default ZIP+4 range record.

Rural Route Lookup Context

If postal ZIP Code is specified, candidates are limited to the single ZIP Code. Otherwise, the scope of the search is every ZIP Code in the established city. Rural route context also includes the two clue fields...
  • Rural Route Clue: The field is a live field meaning that every keystroke updates the postal RR/HC candidate list. Recognizing that input rural route types (HC or RR) can be incorrect, there is an implied leading and trailing wildcard that allows postal RR/HC lookup based on the route number alone. The implied trailing wildcard is eliminated by ending the clue with a period (.) terminator.

  • Box Number Clue: The field is not live requiring ‹ENTER› before updating the postal rural route candidate list. Box number reduces the Rural Route candidate list.
