Improve Mailing Accuracy With CASS Certification.

AmeriList’s CASS Certification Processing services help businesses, nonprofits, agencies, printers, and marketers improve mailing accuracy by standardizing, correcting, and validating addresses according to United States Postal Service guidelines. By ensuring your mailing list meets USPS standards, CASS processing improves deliverability, reduces returned mail, and helps qualify your mailings for postal discounts.

As part of our comprehensive data hygiene and address quality solutions, CASS Certification is often the first step toward building a cleaner, more accurate, and more effective mailing database.

What Is CASS Certification?

CASS, which stands for Coding Accuracy Support System, is a USPS program that evaluates the accuracy of address matching software and address correction processes. CASS processing standardizes addresses to USPS formatting requirements and verifies critical address elements such as:

  • Street addresses
  • ZIP Codes
  • Apartment and suite numbers
  • ZIP+4 Codes
  • City names
  • Delivery Point Codes
  • State abbreviations

The result is a mailing list that is formatted according to USPS standards and prepared for maximum deliverability.

Inconsistent or outdated address information can increase mailing costs, reduce response rates, and limit the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns.

Benefits include:

  • Improved address accuracy
  • Lower production costs
  • Better mail deliverability
  • Enhanced customer data quality
  • Fewer returned mail pieces
  • Improved campaign performance
  • Reduced postage waste

Accurate address data is essential for successful direct mail marketing and reliable customer communication.

  • Improve Mail Deliverability CASS processing verifies and standardizes address information to USPS specifications, helping ensure your mail reaches the intended recipient.
  • Correct Address Errors Identifies missing directional information, incorrect abbreviations, ZIP Code errors, and other common address issues before mail enters production.
