Why is a field empty? (source data)

Empty fields

Some fields can be null/empty because the source data doesn't contain them for that specific address — not because of an error:

• Supplementary city name (supplerende bynavn) — only exists for some addresses.
• Certain access-point details (e.g. text orientation, road point, height) — a source isn't always available.
• Cadastral/ejerlav-related fields — parts have a data ceiling (e.g. no full cadastre join), so a field can be empty.

How to handle it:

1. Build your integration robustly — assume optional fields may be missing.
2. If you need enrichment (BBR/DAGI), use /v1/* rather than the plain DAWA response.
3. If a field that should exist is consistently empty across many addresses, contact support with a few example ids.

Core address fields (street, house no., postal code, city, coordinates) are always populated for current addresses.
