Global ID Verification
is Melissa’s powerful cloud service that gives one single, simple
way to clean and verify your global contact data. Leverage our experience in
name, phone, address, and email validation to gain comprehensive contact checking
and identity-level verification.
Our web service
may be applied to:
- Age verification
- Name-address verification
- Anti-fraud applications
- Online shopping cart &
eCommerce platforms - FinTech/Banking
When you need your
contact data checked and verified, Global ID Verification begins with
standardizing and validating your records. At this stage, the service will
parse and standardize your data as well as check for the following:
- Name is in a valid format
- Address is deliverable
- Email address exists
- Phone number is callable
Input
- Full Name: John doe
- Phone: 8458692102
- Email: john.doe@yaoo.com
- Address Line 1: 1 unicorn
- City: norwich
- Administrative Area: Postal
- Code: NR33AB Country: GB

In the diagram above, you can see the final
result of reformatting. Casings are changed and abbreviations are corrected.
Continuing the process, you gain missing street suffixes, phone country dialing
codes, missing state/province/administrative area info, and even typographical
email domain corrections. For example, yaoo.com will be adjusted to Yahoo.com.
Next, Global ID
Verification evaluates your data against trusted reference data in order to
verify each individual’s information so you can be confident that names and
communication channels are current.
In this verification
stage, the web service takes the standardized name, phone, email, and address
from the previous stage and performs ID verification. Additional input, such as
an individual’s national ID, such as a social security number and date of birth
can be verified as well; depending on the country of origin.
