The Record Type code serves as a crucial component in the mail delivery process, allowing carriers to navigate through addresses that meet certain criteria.

Specifically, this code enables the carrier to recognize addresses that are verified up to the post code level, ensuring a level of accuracy in the initial stages of delivery.

However, despite this initial verification, the addresses in question may not be valid at the Delivery Point Code (DPC) or Delivery Point ID (DPID) level.

The DPC and DPID levels represent a more detailed identification of the delivery location, often down to the specific mailbox or apartment number.

When an address fails to meet the DPC or DPID criteria, the Record Type code informs the carrier of this discrepancy, enabling them to take appropriate action.
