'New Zealand Residential' and 'New Zealand Companies Office' follow the below-mentioned rules when it comes to address matching:

  • In order to get the maximum addressMatchScore, all the address elements have to be entered.
  • Either addressElement3 or addressElement5 must be present. Skipping both will result in an error and the search won't be performed.
  • The remaining two address fields, addressElement1 and addressElement4, are optional.
  • Removing the optional fields will, in most cases, will still give an addressMatchScore, though a reduced one.
