Address Accuracy Solutions

Address Accuracy is a Canada Post program designed to encourage mailers to accurately address mail. Consistent and accurate addressing reduces costs by eliminating the need for extra handling and/or mail redelivery. Accurate addressing ensures the mail is delivered on time, the first time, every time.

  • Do you have problems meeting the Canada Post 95% accuracy requirement?
  • Is critical address data being discarded when you run your Address Accuracy process?
  • Are you having trouble reaching your clients due to incomplete or invalid address information?
  • Does "additional" delivery information cause problems during your Address Accuracy process?
  • Is correcting or validating certain street names a challenge?
  • Are simple corrections being missed, or incorrectly validated?
  • Do you continue to have a high volume of undeliverable mail items?
