Test addresses
Test addresses are used to confirm whether or not a data update has been successfully carried out. They are unique to the vintage and type of data set installed, and help to visually confirm a successful data update.
You can retrieve your data sets test address by selecting your data set below, or by checking the letter that accompanied your data update. To check for data update success, enter the relevant test address for the vintage of your data set into your QAS product. If the address is returned then you have successfully updated your data.
Historical test addresses are also retrievable using the system below. This is useful in identifying the vintage of your database if unknown.
Please note: some test addresses may not return DataPlus information as they are so new. Also, QAS DataPlus sets do not have test addresses.
Data Expiry Dates
It is important to apply your update promptly in order to provide your company with the most up to date coverage of address data and, in turn, the greatest business benefits. Experian QAS data is designed to stop working if updates are continually not performed. Please refer to the expiry dates given for each data set vintage to ensure you have performed your latest date updates before the data is due to cease working.
Please note: the expiry period may vary for each dataset.
