One of the challenges that a business faces when expanding to new markets is making sure an international address is valid. While US postal addresses are very simple, many other countries have different formats that vary based on their geographic regions. Additionally, not all countries have street-level addresses and there are many differences in internal format and standard. These differences make it a challenge for service providers to verify an international address, making it essential to choose the right service provider.
One of the most effective solutions for verifying an international address is an API. This software can quickly search any Global address and provide instant results. Then, you can use the data in your system to correct errors and invalid addresses. This is especially helpful for e-commerce websites. The API makes the verification process automated and eliminates the risk of inaccurate customer data or international address information. This software works through a list of addresses already sourced from trusted databases, eliminating the need for manual entry of these data.
One service provider will confirm an international address for you by comparing the address you input with the postal standards in the destination country. You can choose the full name of the destination country, an ISO-2 or ISO-3 abbreviation, or an ISO-N numeric code. Once you have the address, you can then use the tool to ship the item to the customer. It is important to choose the right service provider because they can help you make the right shipping decisions.
