- Addresses for U.S. and state highways or state routes should be entered in the format shown in the following examples:

- Addresses should not include any of the following:
- Apartment numbers or abbreviations, such as Apt.

- Jurisdictional database inquiries may return multiple addresses, each with a given score from 70-100. The score is an indication of matching accuracy. The higher the score, the closer the match.
