International: Addresses & geographical

International addresses

If in addition to Dutch addresses you also have foreign business relations that you want to enter in your database correctly, you can validate those addresses by means of our international database that contains more than 200 countries.

The source data comes from national postal companies (including Royal Mail, La Poste and Deutsche Post) and it is updated periodically.

Available countries

Address-specific data is available from more than 200 countries. This includes the addresses of all 27 member states of the European Union. Addresses are also available for all industrialised countries outside the EU.
