The Address Validation API is a service that accepts an address, identifies the address components, and validates them.

The Address Validation API also standardizes the address for mailing and finds the best known lat/long location for it. It can help understand if an address refers to a real place. If the address does not refer to a real place, it can identify possibly wrong components, enabling users to correct them.

The Address Validation API provides many features to help you process an address, including:

  • Separates the address into its individual components and then provides component-level validation checks, including sub-premises (where available).

  • Cleanses, standardizes, and infers missing or incorrect address components.

  • Supplements the address with additional information, including geocode, address precision, and postal services data.

  • Returns a single string containing the complete address as determined by the API.
