Creating a PAF for ConnectRight Mailer Unify

NCOALink Service Providers (like ConnectRight Mailer) are required by the USPS to obtain a PAF form from each customer using their change-of-address (COA) service. The PAF enables the USPS and the mailing industry to comply with the Privacy Act of 1974. It verifies the owner of address lists, allowing the USPS to track the source of suspected spam mail.

Signing the form

• Identifies the mailer to whom the USPS has disclosed COA information.
• Protects the service providers from mailers using the COA data for reasons outside the intended use of the product.

When your user profile is created each list owner is required to submit a valid Processing Acknowledgement Form (PAF) before you can use ConnectRight Mailer Unify. An ePAF is an electronic version of the PAF and the easiest and most secure way to complete PAF submission. ConnectRight Mailer Unify uses ezPAF to manage the PAF submission and renewal process. ezPAF also handles communication with the USPS and tracks enrolled members.

To create a PAF:

1. Go to the ConnectRight Mailer Unify template dashboard.
2. Under Submit a PAF, Select Click here to complete to access the ezPAF website to complete the form.
3. Complete all fields of the NCOALink® Processing Acknowledgment Form (PAF). You can view the progress of PAFs completed on-line in 'Account Management'. All PAFs must be approved before they are available for selection within a job.

You can find more details about what a PAF is, as well as when and why it is needed, at the start of the PAF form wizard.
