Smarty Streets​ Address Validation

Current State - Context

In the current CWS/CMS system, addresses are not validated when they are entered. This can cause problems if there are errors, or if the address does not exist. 

New CWS-CARES Feature 

​In CARES V1, users will enter the address, search, and then select the correct one from a validated list. The goal of validating addresses as they are entered is to eliminate errors and duplicates, and to ensure that addresses exist. Address data will come from a tool called Smarty Streets.​
