Address Verification API

The Address Verification API is a vital tool that lets you validate and resolve addresses. It works by comparing the address data with known reference data. It then attempts to normalize the data by replacing common roadway identifiers and reordering components of the address. Once the address has been resolved, it is returned as the input address.



Using an API for address validation saves developers a lot of time. It allows them to validate addresses and format them to conform to the USPS postal standard without the need to write code to validate addresses. Address lookup APIs are useful for online retailers, delivery companies, and businesses that send mail. Using an address validation API also helps developers to save time on development and debugging. Otherwise, developers must add address validation functionality manually.


Address verification is complicated and not as simple as it sounds. Every week, new addresses are added to the national database. Addresses are also transformed due to new buildings being built. In addition, addresses often include abbreviations, misspellings, and other details. This means that addresses must be properly standardized. For example, 123 Main St. will be standardized to 123 Main St.


Address verification APIs work by comparing the address data entered by the user against a standard database. This allows businesses to validate the accuracy of an address before sending it out to a customer. It is also useful for organizations that reach customers globally and need to validate addresses.
