Address Validation API

Using Address Validation API ensures you're sending your packages to the right destination. This improves your operational efficiencies, reduces shipping losses, and helps improve user experiences.

Several factors may affect the accuracy of your addresses, including incorrectly spelled names and abbreviations. It is also possible to misspell or mistype an address, which will prevent it from being processed. The best way to validate your addresses is to request a bank statement or other proof of recent residence. However, even these methods may not be 100% accurate.

Address Validation API uses data from a variety of sources. This can include postal services and other government databases. By aggregating data, Address Validation ensures you're getting the most up-to-date information on your addresses.

In addition to standardizing your address, Address Validation can help you correct errors. You can use annotations to highlight changes in your input and the results of your normalization process. These annotations will detail how your input was derived from your normalized address.

When you validate your addresses, you can prevent spam from entering your database. While it is not impossible to obtain invalid addresses, it is a time-consuming, difficult process.

With the Address Validation API, you can receive a Plus Code, which is a code that indicates whether your address is valid. If it is not, the API will recommend a correction, and provide you with an error message.

This service can help you differentiate between residential and business addresses. It can also verify premise or house numbers, as well as street names. Moreover, it can help you provide enhanced detail, such as the number of units in an apartment building, or the addressPOU.
