What is the NCOA database?

NCOA stands for National Change of Address and is a special database that has the most up-to-date address info for people across Canada. We use this to check audience lists provided to us to ensure that addresses are correct and that people still live in the locations you are providing. This also removes people that may be deceased or moved out of your trade area.

We use this to remove bad names & addresses or to correct poorly formatted addresses to ensure delivery.
