Postal Reference data

Home » Postal Reference data

TL Post has access to a postal reference database with street and city directories from 240 countries. The reference data can be used both in the home country and internationally. Due to the language-independent data analysis and a special transliteration technology, the verification results for foreign addresses are largely of the same high quality as when verifying German addresses. When validating foreign addresses, country-specific features are also taken into account (e.g. house number before street in France).

If place and street names change in the reference data, TL Post recognizes outdated designations in the input data and corrects them. An address database maintained with TL Post is therefore always up to date in postal terms.

We provide you with the postal reference data for regular matching with TL Post according to your geographical requirements. Depending on the composition of your database, you can select the reference data of individual countries or entire continents.
