Learning more about Approximate Match : Approximate Match is generated through Incode's proprietary fuzzy matching algorithm. If approximate match is returned, the algorithm has identified a similar match with the string submitted in relation to the string stored in the government source of truth for a particular field. Approximate Match is returned when exact matches are not possible due to misspellings, typographical errors, or slight variations in input data.
