# Bulk Validation of Service Addresses

The Bulk Address Validation wizard in the IDI Desktop Client now provides an option to *Include Service Addresses*. Additional filters for *Linked Service Addresses* and *Service Types* are available to help reduce costs incurred when using Cotality (formerly CoreLogic).

Access is via Applications > BackOffice Management > Address Validation > Bulk Address Validation > Main.

By default, only contact addresses will be validated. Check the **IncludeService Addresses** option to validate service addresses as well.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:**
> 
> This option is greyed out if **Cotality** is the only *Required Validation Type* selected and enhanced address validation is not enabled for service addresses. The option is always available when **USPS** is selected as a required validation type.

Additional filters for *Linked Service Addresses* and *Service Types* are available to help reduce costs. The service type filter only applies to services that are linked to service addresses.

These filters are greyed out unless the **Included Service Addresses** check box is enabled.

The confirmation page shows you a breakdown of addresses to be validated. **Note**: A validation Reason must be entered to enable the **Start** button and run the validation. Also, the check box to acknowledge Cotality validation if the estimate shows one or more addresses to be Cotality Validated.
