Spectrum Global Address Validation

Spectrum Global Address Validation provides enhanced address standardization and validation. Global Address Validation combines data from multiple data sources into one database to provide the most extensive and accurate international addressing data possible.

Spectrum Global Address Validation analyzes and compares each input address to the Global Addressing database for the appropriate country. If needed, Global Address Validation corrects and formats the address in accordance with the postal standards for that country.

Standard address output consists of address lines which correspond to how the address would appear on an address label. City, state or province, postal code, and other data are also included in the standard address output.

Global AddressValidation is part of the Global Addressing Module.
