Address Validation for the US

Use the Manage Features by Country or Territory task to control US-specific programmatic validation rules and address validation for your organization.

For example, if you're performing large HCM Data Loader batch load of addresses, you may find it faster to disable the automatic address validation at the individual upload file or business object level.

You must validate person residence and work address data prior to using any payroll features if you have:

• Switched the product extension from Payroll Interface or Human Resources or None to Payroll

• Made changes to addresses while address validation wasn't turned on

• Never activated address line 1 validation

Oracle offers address search and validation down to the street level. You must enable the feature by setting the validation method.

Validation method	What it provides
Address verification without search	Provides address validation to the street level, which can include validation of premise unit numbers, such as apartments, suites, and so on. Doesn't provide address search on flows related to HR and address maintenance, such as Hire an Employee.
Full address verification service	Includes address validation down to the street level, which can include validation up to premise unit numbers, such as apartments, suites, and so on. Provides address search on flows related to HR and address maintenance, such as Hire an Employee.

To set the level of your US-specific address programmatic validation rules:

1. Start the Features by Country or Territory task.

2. Locate the United States legislation.

3. Select Address Validation to enable it. Deselect to disable it.

   Important:

   Never disable it if you're using the Payroll product extension.

4. Expand United States.

5. Select your address validation method.

   Payroll license implementations must verify worker residence and work addresses to the street level to ensure accurate local tax withholdings.

6. Click Save.
