Postal Address verification and Standardization

Standardize Postal address formats and fill in missing data

Data Check Central's Address standardization process is the latest in the line of business data management solution for small and medium sized businesses. We verify your customers' postal address by applying the guidelines given by the postal authority.

How we process United States postal address data

We start our postal address cleansing process by standardizing postal address with the accepted standards given by USPS. For example, we capitalize all the letters in the address.

From small changes in existing postal address to big changes in address format we review your data to match the required levels. This formatting greatly increases deliverability time and reduce the number of wrong deliveries.

As per the requirement of our customer, we undertake real-time and batch processing of data. Apart from processing postal records as per US postal rules, we comply with Canada, UK and Australian postal system. Such specific requests are processed as per the customized rules given by the client.

How Postal Address Append Works

We achieve high-level of matching through automated data analysis through our proprietary software. During this process, this tool analyzes and parses each address of your postal record with our 26 million postal databases. If postal fields are missing, misspelled or incorrect, the software flags the records and inserts/corrects the information, including zip codes.

How the process works

1. You send your data via FTP

2. We receive your data

3. You read the data and process the data

4. We export the results into accepted format

5. We return the data stream to you after standardizing spelling, abbreviation, and punctuation

6. You receive the resulting processed data with correct rural route addresses to city-style addresses

7. You verify and process the data stream
