Creating a new Process Acknowledgment Form (PAF) in ConnectRight Mailer

Before you can run the move update function on ConnectRight Mailer, you will need to submit a Process Acknowledgement Form (PAF).

The USPS requires a PAF to comply with federal privacy regulations. When the USPS shares NCOALink information, they must be able to track access to that data.

1. Select MoveID.
   

2. The MoveID (NCOALink) window appears with default items selected.

   • Note: The Address Verification Options appear at the top of the page. Verify is performed before MoveID to maximize matching and after MoveID to assign address fields for records that changed
     

3. Select a radio button for the name matching logic:
   • Standard (Business, Individual, Family). (Recommended)
   • Individual (To limit matches to individuals only).
4. (Optional) Select the radio buttons for the required classes of mail.
5. (Optional) Enter your Entry point ZIP Code.
   • Note: The information in the USPS Requested information is not required. The data entered will be used by USPS to compile statistical information.
6. Select Find PAF.
   • If you do not have an approved PAF, the PAF list will be blank.
7. Select Create new PAF.

9. Select a List Ownership option: 
   1. I am processing this list for my customer: If you are processing mail for other organizations
   2. I am the owner of the list to be processed: If you are processing organization
      • The list owner is the company that owns the names and addresses. If a company rents a list or is granted use of a traded list, they are considered the list owner for the purpose of processing the data through the NCOALink service, assuming they are not providing the updated data back to the source.
      • If you have a client and they will receive name and address information updated through the NCOALink service in any form, including return mail, you are not the list owner.

    • List Owner Contact Information
    • List Owner Company Information

    • Physical address
