GeoPostcodes, the leading provider of global location data, today announced the launch of House Numbers. The dataset supports address validation down to the house number level across 50 countries in America and Europe. It supports two workflows: address validation, which confirms an entered address corresponds to a real location, and address autocomplete, which guides users toward valid inputs at entry.
Why it was built
In industries such as last-mile or fraud detection, knowing that a house number exists is crucial to operations. Delivery operations, e-commerce checkout, and identity verification all require that level of granularity. As GeoPostcodes worked with customers in these sectors, the need for a reliable, self-hosted house-number dataset consistently emerged as a gap in their address-validation infrastructure.
House Numbers is built on a standardized structure with consistent address formats, city definitions, and administrative levels across all 50 countries. The dataset is delivered as self-hosted data, enabling single or bulk address validation at a fixed cost, with full control over performance and security.
What it means for your operations
For logistics, e-commerce, and marketplace operators, validating house numbers at input means more accurate address data entering downstream systems, reducing the number of invalid addresses and manual correction overhead, improving delivery success rates and customer experience, and lowering operational costs.
“For fraud detection and identity verification teams, house-number-level data adds a layer of specificity that is difficult for fraudsters to fabricate. Catching fake addresses at entry directly improves trust scoring and risk assessment.” - Jérôme Urbain, Head of Product, GeoPostcodes
"House Numbers reflects our focus on solving real-world data challenges. By extending validation to the house number level, we’re enabling organizations to improve data quality, reduce operational friction, and make more confident decisions; all with a simple-to-use international dataset built on a consistent global structure."
