Addresses manages entity addresses from the Legal Entity Management perspective, focusing on entity compliance and regulatory filings, handling multiple address types (registered, business, mailing, operational) across jurisdictions. This use case addresses tracking address changes over time, connecting addresses to jurisdictions, regions, and countries, linking addresses to identify shared locations and entity networks, validating address accuracy across different countries, maintaining historical address records for compliance and audit, and supporting regulatory compliance, data quality, and geographic insights through comprehensive address management.

Note: This page describes address management from the Legal Entity Management perspective, focusing on entity compliance and regulatory filings. For address management from the Client 360 / Know Your Customer perspective (customer identity verification and risk assessment), see Addresses.
