What Is Address Verification and Why Is It Important?
Address Verification confirms that a customer's address matches the rest of their information. For example, a user can run a customer's phone number and see if the returned address matches what they have on file.
When To Use an Address Verification Service
People who move frequently might provide an old address on impulse or not have their ZIP code fully memorized. Others may simply misspell their address, like anyone who lives on Tchoupitoulas Street in New Orleans.
Businesses get the most mileage out of Address Verification Services. They can verify customer mailing addresses before sending out merchandise, saving themselves the added costs associated with a returned product.
Marketing departments can also avoid allocating resources to fake addresses. Many people purposefully provide a random address while subscribing to newsletters or other communications. When dealing with dozens or even hundreds of these cases, the wasted resources add up.
The previous examples are honest mistakes. The more malicious possibilities happen when the "customer" is hiding fraudulent activity. Credit card thieves often lack access to the cardholder's address, causing them to make one up during checkout.
How Does Our Address Verification Tool Work?
Names, phone numbers, email addresses, and locations are typically bundled under "contact information" requests. People share this information liberally, causing them to appear in any number of online databases.
SocialBio picks out the most trustworthy databases and scans their millions of records for the submitted search terms. We then search those records for corresponding addresses, allowing users to cross-reference the results with their own files.
Our report may show that John Smith's email address is JohnSmith@mail.com, while your records show JSmith@mail.com as an email address. This discrepancy indicates a user error or fraudulent activity.
How To Verify an Address Using Our Tool

Key Features of Our Address Verification Service
The quality of Address Verification Services varies wildly. Low-quality tools return outdated addresses if the subject frequently moves residences. They also have a bad habit of reporting the first address that pops up, leading to wrong results.
You won't face these issues with us. SocialBio commits to an exceptional user experience through the following safeguards and features:
Superior Sourcing
First of all, we don't rip information from unreliable sources like social media pages or ten-year-old court records. SocialBio only relies on sources with strong maintenance policies, like utility and property assessment records, which regularly update the subject's information.
Protected Searches
SocialBio does not store user activity, which prevents any information from leaking no matter the circumstances. We also do not inform people when their name, phone number, or email address is submitted, keeping every search completely confidential.
Extreme Speed
Some tools keep you staring at an unbearable loading bar for entire minutes. This pace is unacceptable, especially for anyone who needs to run multiple searches. SocialBio provides detailed reports within seconds of hitting enter, allowing you to get to the next search right away.
Multiple Search Options
Our tool is functional regardless of what customer details you have on hand. It works with phone numbers, email addresses, and full names for maximum search options.
Multiple search options also allow businesses to confirm information other than physical addresses. They can run separate searches using a phone number and an email address and see if the results stay consistent.
