This is a selection of companies dealing with international data and/or local postal data.  Their presence in this list is not a guarantee of their abilities or quality.

  • International/address hygiene/validation products/software
  • International/address hygiene/validation services
  • International data (re-)sellers
  • National address hygiene/validation products/software 
  • GIS products and services
