Address Verification

Know Before You Print

A correct and well formatted address is the last line of defense before your packages and letters leave your possession for delivery. An undeliverable address, a typo in the street number, a wrong ZIP code, or simply a missing suite number – bad addresses will cost you time and money. They may delay delivery, get your package sent back to you, or even land your mail at the wrong destination. Endicia helps you avoid these types of pitfalls with multiple levels of address correction*.

Endicia begins by verifying your domestic destination address using the USPS address matching system before you print your postage label. This will correct many typos and format your address to USPS standards to avoid delivery delays. Don’t know the ZIP code for your destination address? Endicia will find and add the 9-digit ZIP+4 to further streamline delivery.

If there are multiple matches to your address - for example, when your customer forgets to enter an apartment number; Endicia will prompt you for a selection. This gives you an opportunity to correct the problem or contact your customer before the package leaves your hands. Endicia will also tell you whether the address is a home or business, so you can consider options like signature waiver. Endicia will also tell you if your address exists or not using the USPS Delivery Point Validation process. Why waste time and money shipping to a non-existent address?

Endicia regularly updates its USPS databases, so that recent addresses are merged into the system. For rural or new addresses that are not yet included in USPS databases, Endicia allows you to override the address correction step. If you are sure the address is deliverable (for example, you’ve contacted your customer and confirmed the address) you can print postage labels to unverified addresses, if any two of the city, state, and ZIP code are consistent with each other. This lets your mail reach the destination Post Office where local carriers who are familiar with the area can complete delivery.

Don’t let bad addresses cost you time & money - reform them with Endicia.

* Address correction is only available on domestic (US) addresses.
