Why Does it Say My Address is Invalid?

While moving is exciting, it can also be a bit stressful. There are so many things to think about, from packing boxes to setting up utilities. Addresses are another thing to take into consideration. You need to make sure that your mail gets delivered properly, otherwise, you may not receive important documents such as credit card statements or tax forms. To help ensure that your address is valid, you should use an online tool to validate your address. This can be done for free and will also suggest corrections if needed.



You will be told that your address is invalid if it does not match the database maintained by USPS. This can happen for a number of reasons, including being a new or unregistered address, being vacant or being located in a postal area serviced primarily by PO Boxes.



It can also be the case that the address you have provided is simply incorrect. Input errors and typos can be the cause of this. Severe misspellings, flipping or scrambling of numbers in the street or postal code, and other common mistakes can lead to your address being returned as invalid. Advanced third-party address verification solutions can correct these errors for you.


Sometimes addresses are invalid due to being fake or imaginary. This can be the case if someone does not want to be tracked or is trying to avoid identity theft by using an alias. Luckily, this is something that can easily be fixed by double-checking the information.
