What is Address Verification?
Address verification is a process that compares an address against the official USPS database and tries to find a match. If a match is found, it means that the address is deliverable. If an address is not found, address verification software will correct the address, if applicable, and then compare it again against the database. This is part of a process called the Data Hygiene process, which keeps addresses and contact data listed in the USPS and other databases accurate.
How Does the API Verify Addresses?
It takes three steps for CDYNE’s Postal Address Verification (PAV) API to verify your postal addresses. Why three steps? Because verification alone doesn’t guarantee deliverability.
3. Validate
Validation uses the USPS database to ensure address deliverability.
What Does CDYNE’s PAV API Do?
Postal address verification saves time, money, and resources by verifying addresses for deliverability before mail and packages are sent out. We help businesses ensure they have accurate data and successful mailing campaigns. To achieve this, our PAV does all of the following.
- Corrects spelling errors
- Formats with USPS capitalization
- Fixes incorrect abbreviations
- Formats ZIP Codes to ZIP+4
- Identifies missing information
