The 39CFR265.6(d)Reads in part...

(7) Address verification. The address of a postal customer will be 

verified at the request of a Federal, State, or local government agency 

upon written certification that the information is required for the 

performance of the agency's duties. ``Verification'' means advising such 

an agency whether or not its address for a postal customer is one at 

which mail for that customer is currently being delivered. 

``Verification'' neither means nor implies knowledge on the part of the 

Postal Service as to the actual residence of the customer or as to the 

actual receipt by the customer of mail delivered to that address. The 

Postal Service requires government agencies to use the format appearing 

at the end of this section when requesting the verification of a 

customer's current address or a customer's new mailing address. If the 

request lacks any of the required information or a proper signature, or 

if the request has been sent to the wrong post office, the postmaster 

will return the request to the agency, specifying the deficiency in the 

space marked ``OTHER''.

    (8) Business/Residence location. If the location of a residence or a 

place of business is known to a Postal Service employee, whether as a 

result of official duties or otherwise, the employee may, but need not, 

disclose the location or give directions to it. No fee is charged for 

such information.
