# Capture the address type

**Element type:** Suggested

**Endpoints/models used:** [ValidatedAddressInfo](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/models/ValidatedAddressInfo/)

If it's important that your implementation captures the address type that's based on the USPS database, then you should include this information in the [ValidatedAddressInfo](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/models/ValidatedAddressInfo/) response for an [AddressResolutionModel](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/models/AddressResolutionModel/).

That way, you can include the address type on your records.

Available address types include:

-   Firm or company address

-   General delivery address

-   High-rise or business complex

-   P.O. box address

-   Rural route address

-   Street or residential address

Below is an example response showing the `addressType` for a validated "20 W 34th St, New York, NY 10001" address.
