Searching For an Authoritative Address

How-To:

1. On the main dashboard, scroll down to Data Management / Administration and click on “Authoritative Address”.

2. Type in the address you are attempting to search and remember, less is more! 

• Example: The address may be entered as Adobe Dr versus Adobe Drive. Unfortunately, these would not populate as a match in our system. To increase your chances of finding the correct address, type in 670 Adobe OR Adobe only.
