GLN Address Recommendations

Here are some recommended ways to enter the Name and Address fields for a Global Location Number (GLN) in GS1 US Data Hub. If you select the "Fixed Physical" or "Mobile Physical" GLN Type, the Address Line 1, City, State and Zip Code fields are required. You must select one or more of these address types:

Here's an example of the Name and Address fields:

Name: For Example, “Tasty Harvest Headquarters”

Country: Start by selecting your Country from the dropdown menu.

Address Line 1: Once you begin typing your address in the “Address Line 1” field, the system will suggest addresses based on the USPS database. (The system may suggest Address Line 2 and Address Line 3 suggestions.) Select the correct address from the suggestions. The address will then be displayed. If your address is not listed, you can choose enter it manually. 

Note: When entering an address manually, you may receive a notification stating, "Unverified Address: This street address is not a USPS Verified Address," indicating the entered address is not in the USPS database. This may occur if your address is a new construction or was recently renamed.

Address Line 2/3: If the GLN Type is "Fixed Physical," and the address already exists for a GLN in GS1 US Data Hub (this could occur if there are multiple suites in a building), you can distinguish the address by adding details in Address Line 2 and Address Line 3 (such as "Suite 100" and "Storeroom #2").

If you have entered a street or postal address, you can click the Get GPS Coordinates link to display the Latitude and Longitude coordinates automatically.

 

Select the GeoShape Type (Circle, Line, or Polygon), and GeoShape Coordinates.
