What is address verification?
Address verification, or address validation, is used to determine the deliverability of a specific address. During the address verification process, addresses are cleaned and standardized according to USPS guidelines. Spelling mistakes are corrected, and the standard 5-digit ZIP Code is expanded to the more precise ZIP+4 Code. This process can be used to qualify for discounts on bulk mailings and to ensure timely delivery of e-commerce shipments.

Get mailing discounts
Address verification must be performed for every letter or parcel handled by the US Postal Service. To save them time and money, the USPS licenses vendors like SmartyStreets to verify addresses before you send out your mailing. Just run your address list through LiveAddress for Lists, our CASS-Certified™ list service. You'll get the CASS™ Summary Report (PS 3553) that you need to take to the post office with your mailing to receive automation rate discounts.
