I have to admit I’ve been surprised by the number of
folks that
requested verification of an address that does not agree with their
license.
It would also be good to have your information correct with the FCC, or
other government agency, that issues your license.

Subject: [44net] Re: Portal Tickets - Who to contact?
We are working through the tickets. We did not anticipate the huge
flood of
tickets since the portal went up. We have added additional
members of the TAC to work through the Callsign and Address verification
tickets. Tickets related to other things are handled by staff.
We use access to records of FCC, RAC, and
QRZ.com and other online
resources we
can find. But we are NOT spending any extra time trying to
match records. If we find any conflicting information, we are simply
rejecting the application. At this time, we are not going to send out
post cards or use other methods to verify addresses. Mainly due to the
costs involved. The cost of sending out a simple post card, is typically
over $2. There are hundreds of addresses needing verification.

So if you have a pending address or callsign verification request,
make sure all
the public databases agree with your request.
