Not to muddy the water; this raises a curious point. I run (among other things) a small rural ISP which has customers using a /29 or more of IPv4 space. These customers live in an unorganized borough; technically, this means that the nearest city — responsible for maintaining street address records — has no legitimate way to register street addresses in a national database. Consequently, about 30% (rough estimate from me) of real addresses city-wide cannot be validated using the USPS database, and therefore third-party databases (which typically use the USPS db as a starting point) fail to contain them as well. For some entire /24 blocks, I have (ARIN-registered) street addresses that on the surface would look bogus to a brief online validation. While I can assure you they are not, this does raise a point that is not covered in the current NRPM — what constitutes a valid service address? I find three examples of "street address" in the current NRPM, with no definition. And in cases where the SWIP is meant to discover POC, the street address would be pointless as a contact given that there is no postal service delivery to street addresses — though no doubt helpful to law enforcement. Admittedly this is an edge case, but it does make me ask the question, "What are the actual definitions and requirements for a valid service address / street address?" I don't find the requirements (as clearly re-stated by Albert above) in the current NRPM. Jeremy Austin
