What is CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) Certification?
As a service to our valued customers, AM-PM runs every mailing file prior to mailing against the CASS Certificationfile provided by the USPS. CASScertification is a process that standardizes your addresses, per USPS requirements by spelling the street name correctly, properly abbreviating directional’s and street designators, and removing any illegal and unnecessary punctuation. It will add the 4-digit ZIP+4 extension onto the basic 5-digit ZIP code. Overall, those records that can be ZIP+4 encoded are deliverable – those that are not encoded may not be deliverable. All of this is done to make your mail reach its destination promptly. By not standardizing your mail file you would have higher postage rates and slower delivery times. Address standardization is a positive step toward improved address quality and is a cost-effective operation for both postal customers and the Postal Service.
