International Address Validation

International Address Validation service instantly verifies, corrects and/or appends address information to your contact records from over 250 countries, dependent areas and territories.

Our real-time (API) DOTS International Address Validation service verifies and corrects international mailing addresses to the unique requirements of each country’s postal address formats and cultural idiosyncrasies. Our continually updated databases are from the country-specific postal authorities, ensuring our data is genuine, accurate and up-to-date.

Using our fuzzy matching logic, we have exceptional match and correction rates with difficult and alternative names. For example, the service supports:

• Over 280 variations for the United Kingdom, such as: England, British Isles, Karalyste, Birtaniya, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and 英国 (Chinese for United Kingdom).
• Unconventional address formats like those found in Japan and the United Kingdom.
• Over 25,000 alternate country names and variations in different languages as well as ISO2 and ISO3 country codes can be used as inputs to validate addresses.
