How Do I Use Address Validation?

If you're wondering how to use address validation, read on. Address validation is a feature that helps you avoid mistakes. It looks up addresses against an official address database. An invalid address, on the other hand, doesn't exist in real life and can't be corrected. You can also use address validation to check for the existence of a certain address. This feature can help you ensure that your customers get the right address.



Once you have enabled address validation, you can run it on a single record. You can do this from the main Data Maintenance dashboard. You don't have to edit the record to preview the results; you can view the standardized address by clicking the blue arrow on the record. This will use one credit for each record that is loaded into preview. You can also run validation on multiple records at once. The process can take quite a while.


Address validation is the first step in a process that helps you make your website better. It matches the standardized data against a government database - in this case, the USPS. In a matter of minutes, the validation process can be completed. For example, the DataMatch Enterprise address validation software can match entire addresses or just part of addresses. Using address validation, you can validate 54 fields. When you use address validation, you need to make sure the address is formatted correctly to avoid any errors.
