Let’s look at how Loqate can verify an address. Address Verify goes through three steps called Parse, Match, and Format, and we will explain what they involve
First Address Verify parses the address, then divides it into multiple components such as building number, street name, city name, etc…
Then comes the matching and verification process. Address Verify will search and correct errors. In this example, Villa Devoto is not an independent city, but actually a neighborhood inside of Buenos Aires. We do this through a combination of country-specific rules and a comparison to our extensive reference data.
Finally Address Verify will put the address in the right format for its country. An example is the location of the postal code. In many countries, like Argentina above, it proceeds the country name.

Transliterate between
Latin and 8 Native character scripts
Transliteration is the phonetic conversion between one language and another
It does not attempt to preserve meaning, only to write out the sound in a different character set.
A sushi menu is an example of transliteration: Writing out “Hamachi” using the Latin alphabet is transliteration, whereas calling it Yellowtail would be translation
Transliteration allows a user to write out an address in the script they are comfortable with. Loqate is able to return the address either in the native script, or transliterate into the Roman alphabet and vice-verse. One example would be a US-based online shop would now be able to accept orders with Japanese addresses and widen their customer base. Shop employees can review the data in Japanese or in English, which they might be more familiar with.

Not all addresses can be validated to the same extent
Loqate tells you exactly how reliable and accurate each address is
One of the problems of address verification is measuring the quality of an address.
Most of our competitors have an unclear labeling scheme.
Loqate uses its Address Verification Codes, or AVCs, to measure the accuracy of an address.
The first section of the AVC, VERIFICATION, tells you the level to which the address is valid” City, street, building, or suite number.
The PARSING section tells you how well our software was able to parse the input into separate fields.
The Postcode section tells you how accurate the address postcode is. It can go from non-existent down to the block or building, depending on each country’s postcode system.
Finally the Match Score measures the amount of change we have made to the address: If Address Verify had to correct large parts of the address, the Match Score will be significantly lower than 100, which means no changes. You can specify the Match Score threshold. For example, addresses scoring below 75 should be reviewed by a data steward.

This is a top level view of the Loqate architecture
At the left are the modules that perform most of the work: Parse divides the address into the correct fields, Match compares the field data to our reference data and corrects it, Format puts the output in the correct format for each country.
In the middle are the components or Loqate solutions: Address Verify, Address Powersearch, and Address Geocode. Each of those solutions fills a specific function, yet they all rely on the modules that run underneath.
The highest level of the architecture comprises the various APIs that connect the Loqate products to other applications.

Country identifies which country the input refers to. Our algorithms use different context and lexicon rules for each country
Parse divides the input address into multiple fields such as Building, Street, City, State, etc.
Match compares the parsed data to our reference data and corrects it where necessary
And Format will put the output in the correct format for the specified country.
Our algorithms will configure each request and do the required search for matches within our Knowledge base.
