The Presort Accuracy Validation and Evaluation (PAVE) program evaluates presort software and determines its accuracy in sorting address files under DMM standards. PAVE sorts both your mailing list to optimize postage savings and provides all the necessary mailing documentation, including postage reports, bag tags and tray tags, etc.
PAVE is available only to software and hardware manufacturers (i.e., companies that develop presort software or manufacture presorting equipment). PAVE certification does not guarantee acceptance of customer mail prepared with PAVE-validated hardware/software.
PAVE evaluates the accuracy of presort products by providing test address files to vendors. Vendors process the test file(s) through their presort software or hardware and return the resulting postage statement facsimile(s) and other presort documentation to the USPS National Customer Support Center (NCSC) for evaluation of the answers. Each test file is evaluated for its accuracy of presort, compliance with current DMM standards, accuracy of sack/tray/pallet tag labels, and general acceptability of computer-generated facsimiles of postage statements and other presort documentation. If the answers are accurate, the vendor's presort product is validated for a 12-month period or until the end of the current annual period.

The PAVE certification process verifies only the sort accuracy of the software. It does not verify addressing information or the assignment of addressing components.
