Address Correction

Validate and Normalize Postal Addresses to Prevent Fraud

Address Correction helps ensure the accuracy of self-reported information obtained from website users, or customers. Using a proprietary database-driven technology, it cleans your database protecting your business against fraud, waste and excess mailing costs by undeliverable address.

How it works:

Address Correction leverages the most up-to-date U.S. and Canadian Postal Service files to ensure that self-reported address data is correct. In cases where information is not accurate, it normalizes addresses to conform to USPS and Canadian postal standards and verifies accuracy. Capture will soon be available for more than 240 countries.
