Verifying a USPS address

Whenever you enter a US address in PitneyShip, you’ll be prompted to verify it by clicking a Confirm Address when you click the down arrow button. You’ll encounter address verification when entering recipient or sender address information, creating a shipping label, or adding an address to the Address Book.

• The USPS keeps a database of valid mailing addresses. By clicking Confirm Address you can confirm that the USPS recognizes and can deliver to that address.
• If USPS doesn’t recognize a recipient’s address then you’ll need to edit it until it can be validated. Then you can print your label.

If PitneyShip finds a close match in the USPS database, you’ll have the option of using that instead of the address you entered, editing your entry, or using the address you entered as is. To accept the USPS-verified address, click the Use Verified button when prompted. PitneyShip will save any edits you made to the address you entered.
