USPS API Solutions: How it works

An address API allows you to receive and maintain accurate data in your database by verifying and validating address data, which is critical to improving the customer experience and overall business operations. An effective address API does the following:

  • Cleanse, correct, and standardize your address records in real-time
  • Verifies address at the point of collection so that no inaccurate data enters your database 
  • Integrates easily into your technical environment

Address standardization API empowers a business in several ways, allowing you to maintain quality data and foster high customer satisfaction. With Experian’s API, you can customize how you want your addresses verified, with no disruption to your existing workflow. That means no interruption in how your customers experience their checkouts or account sign-ups, while still having verified addresses flow into your database.

How important is clean address data to you and your organization? If the address information you collect isn't kept accurate and up-to-date, your business can be impacted in ways you may not have considered.

Research shows that 83% of companies believe that revenue is affected by inaccurate and incomplete customer or prospect data. With Address Verification from Experian Data Quality, you can be confident that the addresses that you are capturing are accurate and complete the first time they are entered.

And because all you need to enter is minimal information, such as a ZIP code, you'll reduce around 80% of the key strokes it would normally take to enter a typical mailing address. Our tools can also help you validate addresses already in your database, so you can be confident that the information you hold is accurate over time.

So why does it matter? Most importantly, your customers will have a better experience. Quick and easy verification enhances the customer journey on your website and makes users more likely to submit forms and complete their purchases. You'll also reduce costs and improve efficiency, because less of your precious time is wasted manually correcting errors.

Correct addresses also mean less returned mail and a greater ability to make accurate business decisions. Get in touch today to discuss the Experian Data Quality tool that's right for your business.

There’s more than one way to verify address records. At Experian, we make it easy for you to get accurate address data—no matter how you plan to collect that information.

International address verification

International address verification ensures your communication and deliveries reach your global customers. Addresses are verified to be accurate to the delivery point while reducing inaccurate data that can delay receipt or even lead to undeliverable mail. Each address is standardized based on the format for the region. The results include increased savings for your business and improved experiences for your customers all around the world.

NCOA and CASS

Experian’s address verification API ensures that addresses are current, according to the national change of address database (or NCOA). Millions of people move each year, changing addresses and making it difficult for mail to reach them. Address verification helps to ensure you have the most current addresses for your customers based on the NCOA database from the USPS.

Additionally, this verification tool provides addresses that meet Coding Accuracy Support System (or CASS) Certification for format for more expedient delivery of mail and packages. By meeting these standards, the address verification API helps to save money and improve customer satisfaction for timely handling of all mail.
