title: Address Validation 5103 Waiver facilities API
description: "The Address Validation API accepts and validates an address and standardizes it for mailing. It can also help you process an address by:\n* Inferring missing or incorrect address components\n* Supplementing an address with additional information, such as geocode, latitude and longitude, and postal service metadata (when available)\n## Technical Overview\nThe Address Validation API returns validated addresses as they appear in the USPS database for domestic addresses. It validates by separating the address into individual components and then providing component-level validation checks.\n\nThis API is certified by the United States Postal Service (USPS) Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS) and adheres to [United States Postal Service (USPS) Publication 28 standards](https://pe.usps.com/text/pub28/welcome.htm) for domestic, military, and US territory addresses.\n\nFor international addresses, validation relies on Universal Postal Union (UPU) standards. \n\n## Validation\nIf an address is found, it is considered valid based on metadata returned by the Address Validation service, such as the confidence score and the [Delivery Point Validation (DPV)](https://postalpro.usps.com/address-quality/dpv).\n\nIf an address is found, there are multiple checks performed on the validated address. The address can fail validation for a variety of reasons, such as the inability to deliver (for domestic mailing addresses) or the format. For specific reasons why an address failed, refer to the error messages returned.\n\nIf an address is not found, it automatically fails validation.\n\n## Address override indicator\nSometimes an entered address is accurate for a Veteran but does not pass validation rules. These instances can occur when an address is newer than what is in the CASS software or in regions where address data is less accurate.\n\nSystems can accept these addresses despite the lack of address validation by submitting an \"accepted address\" (usually confirmed by the Veteran) to the Contact Information API (see Requirements below). An address is considered accepted after the address has been sent to the validation API and has failed validation, but the Veteran has confirmed the address is correct as entered. The accepted address can then be passed to the Contact Information API using an address override indicator set to show that the validation was overridden. To set an override indicator, the original address and the `overrideValidationKey` returned in the validation API response must be provided to the Contact Information API, in order to prove that a validation attempt has been made before overriding.\n\n## Version Interoperability\n\nTo ensure interoperability between APIs and eliminate the need for transforming data as one API feeds into the other, we strongly recommend using versions of the following APIs that are compatible.\n\n|
If Using
| Then Use...
|\n| :------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------------:|\n| Address Validation API v1/v2 | Contact Information API v1
Profile Service API v1/v2 |\n| Address Validation API v3 | Contact Information API v2
Profile Service API v3 |\n\n## Authorization\nAPI requests are authorized through a symmetric API token provided in an HTTP header with name apikey.\n\n**Important**: To get production access, you must either work for VA or have specific VA agreements in place. If you have questions, [contact us](https://developer.va.gov/support/contact-us)."

summary: Query facilities by location or IDs, with optional filters
description: "Query facilities by bounding box, latitude and longitude, state, visn, or zip code. Bounding box is specified as four `bbox[]` parameters, long1, lat1, long2, lat2. (Relative order is unimportant.)\n\nA query by latitude and longitude returns all facilities in the system, sorted by distance from that location. Providing an optional radius in miles to this query will narrow the scope of the returned facilities to those falling within the specified radius from that location.\n\nAll location queries support filtering by facility type, available services, and mobile status.\n\nOne can also retrieve facilities by ID using a comma-separated list like `?ids=id1,id2`. When requesting multiple facilities by ID, the API will return as many results as it can find matches for, omitting IDs where there is no match. It will not return an HTTP error code if it is unable to match a requested ID. Clients may supply IDs up to the limit their HTTP client enforces for URI path lengths. (Usually 2048 characters.)\n\nResults are paginated. JSON responses include pagination information in the standard JSON API \"links\" and \"meta\" elements. \n\n### Parameter combinations\nYou may optionally specify `page` and `per_page` with any query. You must specify one of the following parameter combinations: \n\n- `bbox[]`, with the option of any combination of `type`, `services[]`, or `mobile`\n\n- `ids`\n\n- `lat` and `long`, with the option of any combination of `radius`, `ids`, `type`, `services[]`, or `mobile`\n\n- `state`, with the option of any combination of `type`, `services[]`, or `mobile`\n\n- `visn`\n\n- `zip`, with the option of any combination of `type`, `services[]`, or `mobile`\n\n Invalid combinations will return `400 Bad Request`.
