Using an international address verification service to verify the validity of a foreign address is an easy and cost effective way to ensure that the recipient receives mail. However, there are some things to consider before implementing this service.
First, you need to be aware that not all countries have the same system. Some countries use the same address formats while others have different standards for the same format. The US has a very well organized postal system but this is not the case for every country.
For example, the US postal service has 150 million delivery points nationwide. If every address in the country was validated on the same day, the postal service would make 150 million stops.
The USPS does not provide any services to validate international addresses. That is a pity because sending mail overseas can lead to delivery issues and product delivery problems.
Using a service like Google's address correction technology can help you detect common mistakes and provide a seamless address form fill. The company's address verification software can verify the validity of tens of thousands of addresses in just a few seconds.
It is important to note that the address verification software may not work as well with non-postal address data. If you need to verify addresses from countries with less structured postal systems, you may have to turn to third party services. These services can cost a pretty penny and they are often difficult to navigate.
