Does anyone knoe if there are Sites for validating/checking addresses, like an International Address Directory

Question

So for example: you'd go onto the website, type in the address that you have and they'd tell you whether its correct or not or give you information about it??

This is quite an urgent Q, so as much help as possible would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Answer 1

Due to the volume of updates, there could not be an International one.

Some nation-wide telephone directories will show addresses. Most are 2 - 3 years old; they may be accurate, they may not.

Any reputable organization, profit or non-profit, will have its address on its web site. Reputable organizations with web designers smarter than farm animals will have it at the bottom of every page on the site.

If you edit your question to say what country you need an address in and why, someone may be able to give you a better answer.

If you got an E-mail from someone you don't know, who is offering you money, it is a scam, even if they have the right address for the NIgerian Oil Ministry, the Bank of Scotland, the ECC Lottery Commission or the International BMW Sweepstakes.

Answer 2

Here's a couple of web sites that should help you out.  You can also use Yahoo! search or Yahoo! maps.  Type in the address and it will give what information it can.
