hi

i don't think that there is an app for it.

google has a maps api. if you send an address and it doesn't find the location on the map, then the address is probably false.
but the implementation requires some scripting.

there is an interesting discussion on
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/682 ... e-maps-api
about the difference of paying services and the free google option.

don't know if this of any help?
kind regards

Validate as a place with a physical location or as a USPS-deliverable address? To be USPS-valid, there must be an approved mail receptacle at the location. USPS validation requires a mail sorting configurator, two of which are available in Switch.
