International Address Verification API
When you send packages, letters and direct mail overseas, it's more expensive to get your message and product there. Inaccurate addresses can cause delays in the delivery process and cost your business money from returned mail, address correction fees and more. The good news is that there are solutions. Using an international address verification api can help you eliminate mistakes at the point of entry and improve your customer's experience by providing them with a more accurate address.
An international address validation api compares the inputted address against a database of official, authoritative addresses for a specific country. The database is managed by authorities in that country and is often much more comprehensive than the US Postal Service's official address data. The address is then validated, reformatted and returned in the standard format for that particular country.
It is important to note that there is no centralized authority that determines foreign address formats. Each country's postal authority establishes its own format based on a combination of its own standards and those set out by the UPU (International Postal Union). A good address validation API will know this and use that information to ensure that an address is valid for the country in question.
A real-time international address validation solution can be used in waterfall with a database approach to increase the overall verification rate of an address. Incognia's customers who only had a 70% verification rate using international databases saw an increase to 90% when they integrated a real-time solution in that waterfall. Pacejet offers global support for over 47 countries so you can be confident that your international addresses are valid, deliverable and formatted correctly.
