Why am I getting result codes indicating that move has occurred but the address is not updated?

Not all declared moves will be accompanied with an address. The USPS can sometimes confirm someone did in fact move from a particular location but there are some cases where they do not have the new address. In this case the records that return a “1” in the move return code field are foreign moves. The USPS contains no addresses outside the United States as the NCOA file is strictly national. Other countries also work differently in terms of data distribution and postal environments compared with the USA. Here are some examples of codes written back for flagged moves. Some contain moves and others do not based on definition.

Code Description
A COA Match - A Business, Individual or Family.
91 COA Match - Secondary Number Dropped from COA.
92 COA Match - Secondary Number Dropped from Input.
01 COA Match - Foreign Move.
02 COA Match - Moved Left No Address.
03 COA Match - PO Box Closed No Forwarding Address.
05 COA Match - A New Address cannot be provided.
14 COA Match - New Address would not convert.
19 Found COA - New Address not ZIP+4 or DPV Confirm.
