Address Validation API & Tool in Action

In the world of commerce, addresses play an important role: they identify people and places, facilitate banking transactions, enable delivery of goods, and more. But erroneous or improperly formatted addresses can cause costly delays and deliver subpar customer experiences.

That’s why it’s essential to invest in a reliable address validation service that ensures your data is valid, standardizes it for postal use, and geocodes it with the best known latitude/longitude coordinates. Address validation services can also help you improve the accuracy of your database by identifying and correcting errors (like misspelled street names or missing postal codes) and distinguishing residential from commercial addresses (in select regions).

Many address validation tools offer a free version with limited number of validated addresses, limited address region(s) served, and other restrictions. Most also offer a paid version with more features and unlimited addresses.

If you are evaluating address validation options, consider the benefits of a solution that uses natural language processing to parse and validate addresses with fewer clicks. This is a great way to speed up form completion, reduce typos and misspellings, and improve form filling rates compared to manual entry. It can also help you avoid undeliverable mail and other costly mistakes that stem from poor address data. And it can make your entire operation more efficient by reducing costs related to the processing and return of goods that aren’t delivered.
