What is DPV (Delivery Point Validation)?
DPV is an address validation process, not an address standardization or correction process. DPV does not append any missing data or correct any address elements. It simply tells you what the likelihood of your individual mailing pieces is to be delivered. As an added service, AM-PM matches every mailing address against the USPS DPV file. This is a way to assure that each address in your mailing list matches one of the 145,000,000+ delivery points (deliverable addresses) on file with the USPS. Use of DPV, along with our corrective actions, helps to reduce the amount of undeliverable mail pieces, which in turn results in more efficient mail processing and greater delivery to your intended recipient.
