Total Address Quality
This article is about Total Address Quality (TAQ).
Our Sunday Visitor address management and mailing services can help you optimize your name and address lists for United States postal regulations.
We work closely with the United States Postal Service (USPS®) to anticipate changes and to implement procedures to meet regulations.
Total Address Quality (TAQ) is a multi-step process that includes several tools to scan, cleanse and modify address information into a format acceptable by the U.S. Postal Service.
Our series of processes virtually eliminate returned mail and keep your address list current, correct, and complete. In addition, our Intelligent Mail Barcode gives you the ability to track your mail through the United States Postal Service®.
OSV also proactively monitors reports on the progress of your mail, so your parish can be assured of on-time delivery.
