International Address Validation Service
The global delivery of goods is increasingly becoming an essential part of business. Whether you’re a retail, shipping or online company, providing your customers with their addresses is crucial to delivering your goods on time. Besides ensuring on-time delivery, the right address data can save you tons of time and money as well as help your employees serve your global customers better.
Address verification is a process that ensures that street and postal addresses are present in a database. This can be done upfront when a user searches for an address that is not correct or complete, or it can be accomplished through cleansing, parsing and matching the data in a database against reference postal data.
Cleansing - Identifying and repairing information like typos in a street name or a missing house number. Supplementation - Adding missing components, such as a zip code. Standardization - Formatting, parsing and normalizing the address so it matches the local postal formats.
Scripts & Language Support for Multiple Countries
Intrade’s international address verification software supports different scripts and languages including Hebrew – Israel, Chinese – China, Cyrillic – Russia, Kanji – Japan, and Arabic – United Arab Emirates. This allows you to validate addresses against various native languages and make sure they meet the standards of each country.
Foreign Address Formats for Different Countries
Most countries have their own internal formats of addressing. As a result, it is difficult to standardize addresses for mailing purposes across the world. To solve this problem, Intrade’s international address verification API can extract addresses from multiple sources in their native format and convert them into USPS-compliant ones. This makes it easy to send mails to those countries and prevent undelivered or returned packages.
