Use this rating if the TryRating result is an 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 an address exists:
First, check on Posten website if the result address exists, it is easier to navigate and you are able to enter just the street name and number and find all matching results in the country https://adressesok.posten.no/en
If the address is returned, it does exist and we can rate normally. However, this doesn’t work the other way round: if the address is not returned, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. We have to do further research first.
When the result is unclear please use seeiendom to verify.
If the address is still not found, use street view to confirm that an address does not exist. If there is no clear evidence, rate Can’t Verify.
Please remember to leave a comment that explains your logic, and how far you got in your research!
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 a relevance rating of Acceptable.
Checkpoint: 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 Incorrect – Locality.
