An address status indicates the accuracy of a surface address.

The status of an address can be classified as:

• Active: the address is valid.
• Bad address: the address has proven to be inaccurate.
• Partial: the address is accurate but incomplete; only depicting a general location (such as a country, province/state, and/or municipality). It cannot be used to send surface correspondence.
• Last known: the address a deceased person lived at when they passed away.
• Pending: a future address.
• Inactive: the address a person previously held and has discontinued using.
