This guide is for Systems Administrators to enable Address Validation Bypass feature, which will allow users to generate Tax Receipts for donors who have incomplete addresses. This is for organizations in countries that do not need the donor's address to issue out a valid tax receipt (e.g. USA).

**Are you a Canadian Organization?**\ The Canada Revenue Agency requires registered charities to include the donor’s name and address on issued tax receipts. Bypassing address validation can mean you miss incomplete donor addresses, putting your organization at risk of non-compliance with CRA requirements, including potential audit issues or penalties. You can go to [this link](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/charities-giving/charities/operating-a-registered-charity/issuing-receipts/what-information-must-on-official-donation-receipt-a-registered-charity.html) to find which necessary information must be included in an official donation receipt from a registered charity.
