An exact match |

One or more near matches |
If a range of numbers displays, type the specific number in that range in the SANO field. Then click the black triangle in the leftmost column to select that address for validation. The SANORT value indicates whether the addresses provided within a SANOR response are exclusively odd numbered ("O"), even numbered ("E"), a combination of both ("B"), or cannot be determined (blank response). If more than one community is on the list of selections, be sure you select the correct range for the community needed. If the correct community for your address does not appear on the list of selections, try changing the actual address entry using one of the suggestions below. When an exact match displays, copy the valid address or click to enter the address and return to the SALI form. |

Address Validation Tips
The list below is made available to assist users in the process of address validation.
Use the U.S. Postal Service ZIP code lookup to validate spelling of street name, correct ZIP code, and city name.
USPS uses AVE while many states use AV.
Use local or online directories to locate addresses and working telephone numbers.
If numeric in the street name (SASN field) is “3rd”, you may need to convert to “3D” or “3”.
For numeric street names with “th” or “st” (for example, 4th or 1st) try removing the “th” or “st” from the street name field (SASN).
Move street type (SATH) as part of the street name (SASN), for example:
123 S Main St (St as SASS) would be changed to 123 S Main Street (“Main Street” in SASN) and no directional suffix.
Move secondary directional into the street name, for example:
250 E 200 S would be changed to 250 E 200 South (“S” moved from SASS to SASN and changed to “South”)
Not all states or communities use the same address format. An example of this is that in some states if the address has two directionals, like 250 E 200 S, the format in the system could be using both directionals abbreviated. However, in another state or community 200 South is actually the street name.
Supplemental lists only display the first 25 locations in a building. If your location is not displayed, enter the data in the appropriate LD/LV field and submit your order. CenturyLink then takes the steps to have the information added to its internal database.
Double-check the street type (SATH). Many cities have street names that are used in different combinations. For example, Lakewood Road may be Lakewood Street, Lakewood Avenue, or all three could be valid.
Verify that the address provided is the Service Address, not the listed address.
Provide a working telephone number located on site. It does not have to be a number for your customer, just a number at the location.
