ARID Identifier

The core unit for the Address Register is a ‘physical location with an address'. A unique Address Register Identifier (ARID) is created and stored against each core unit.

An ARID can have one or many addresses that accurately describe its location. For example, 10 Smith Street might also be known as 10-12 Smith Street. For the Register, there is a “principal address” for the core unit, while the remaining addresses are labelled as “alias addresses”. All associated principal and alias addresses are linked to the same ARID.
