Verifying a USPS address in SendPro Online or PitneyShip

When you create a shipping label, SendPro Online or PitneyShip verifies the recipient address against the USPS database of valid addresses to which it can deliver. Some carriers or country destinations may require you to enter a verified address in order to print a label.
