A method and system for identifying records with a valid address, but invalid name information automatically determines if an address is in a set (file) of known valid addresses, and that the name is not in the subset of names associated with the address by calculating the acceptable probability of a match between the addresses and names. In order to calculate the acceptable probability of a match heuristics may be determined for various operating systems, applications, application environments, etc. Integration of the method and system of present invention may be determined by a particular condition, configuration, and/or environment at any given period of time and may, for example, be incorporated in environments such as a computer controlled printer (Inkjet, Laser, etc.) environment or database ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) environment.
