Use this rating if the TryRating result is a residential address (the rating should not be applied to POI and Business results!) and there is strong evidence the address does not actually exist. If sufficient resources are not available to make an informed decision, mark it Can’t Verify instead.

How to check if the address exists:

Research on several map providers such as

* Google Maps

  * Tuttocittà (https://www.tuttocitta.it/)

* Bing Maps

* Open Street Maps (https://www.openstreetmap.org)

Use official municipal, provincial or regional GIS (SIT – Sistema Informativo Territoriale)
Do a general web search to see if any POI or business claims this address
Check on https://www.registroimprese.it/ if any business has claimed this address
Check street imagery, try and find what the street numbers are at the beginning and\or end of the street or what they are on the opposite side of the street to determine if the street number could exist.

If it can be determined that the address does not exist then rate address accuracy Incorrect – Address does not exist, however if it is unclear or if a POI\business claim the address then rate address accuracy Can’t Verify.

How to Rate when the query is for an address that does not exist

If we find that the address does not exist, you will find one of the following scenarios with the appropriate rating.

Response 1: TryRating will return the closest verified address. Rate relevance as Excellent
Response 2: TryRating will return the same address specified in the query. Rate relevance as Excellent and address as Incorrect – Address does not exist. The pin will be rated Can’t Verify.
          Response 3: TryRating will return the street without street number, which should be given relevance rating Acceptable.
In some cases, you will find that an existing address can be found in a different locality. Always mark such cases as Incorrect – Address does not exist and not as Incorrect – Locality.
