Introducing the MAK™ Number
Melissa Address Key™ number or MAK™ number is a persistent 10 digit number that never changes. Much like a barcode or ISBN, this key identifies a discrete physical street address and aligns a multitude of additional information associated with each particular address; such as detailed geographic information, deduplication, property shape, etc.
Technology’s Past
- Addresses could only be identified with an actual physical address
- Searching & Matching records was imprecise and time consuming
- USPS address changes were unpredictable
MAK™ Number's Present
- Melissa Data can return a MAK™ number that uniquely identifies a location with precision
- A MAK™ number is available for every address within the USA and Canada
- Resolution of the MAK™ number is to the apartment or suite level
- For apartments and suites, a Base MAK™ number is available to determine the base location
- MAK™ numbers are 10 digit numbers that are easy to store and retrieve
- Searching & matching records is highly efficient
- MAK™ numbers provide true data anonymity
- USPS changes ZIP Codes. The MAK™ number never changes
- Cities change street names and even city names. The MAK™ number never changes
- All changes are saved to the MAK™ Transaction table
- To learn more about The Master Address Table, visit this link
MAK™ Number's Future
- Melissa Address Key™ numbers will eventually standardize every address in the world
- Users to be provided with MAK™ addresses and will be able to retrieve the information with only a MAK™ number
- Melissa Data will provide constant updates of MAK™ numbers indicating address changes
- Continually relevant usability due to the rollout of products harnessing the geo-spatial reach of MAK™ numbers
