Global Address Validation

During address validation the structured address elements are compared to postal reference data. This step checks if the individual elements exist and if the combination is correct. Missing elements are supplied, typos eliminated and ambiguities resolved.

The AddressDoctor Validation Engine was developed to deliver optimal results and reduce manual interaction. It also keeps false corrections (the change of an almost correct address to an incorrect one) to an absolute minimum.

In many cases it isn't possible to completely verify addresses. For these cases AddressDoctor offers a unique deliverability assessment that rates addresses based on elements present. Every address receives a deliverability assessment.
