ABSTRACT:
System and method for creating response pieces. The response piece system authenticates a user, generates a standardized address based on address code information received from the user, and generates a response piece mailpiece based on the standardized address and the information received from the user. In additional embodiments, including an embodiment for prepaid response pieces, the response piece system generates a response piece permit based on permit information received from the user, generates a unique address code based on address code information received from the user, received payment of an identified fee, and generates the response piece mailpiece based on the permit and the unique address code.
