International Address (finder?)

Kristin LaBolt

We currently use AddressFinder for US/Canada addresses. Does anyone have recommendations for verifying international addresses?

@Kristin LaBolt I've worked with TouchPoints before, though it has been awhile. I was impressed with how carefully they match their data against multiple sources before considering it “official”, and they were less expensive than Blackbaud for the basic data appends that we did.

I'm not sure if they can do international addresses but I would definitely reach out. Hoping other people have suggestions too!

@Kristin LaBolt, for longer than the 7+ yrs I've been at my work place, we have used MelissaData to verify local addresses when USPS is being persnickety about something and always for international addresses. They have multiple options that I have found very useful over the course of time. (Though who they deem deceased is not always accurate!)

Note: MelissaData will usually fill in excluded information (apartment/suite numbers), correct misspellings/illegible addresses. It also takes the jumbled mess we receive and gives us the proper address and format. Also, it will list if a street address is not receiving mail (The home uses a PO Box.)
