The Print.one API has support for address validation whenever you try to make a request. There is a general address validation which is done for all countries, but also address validation for some specific countries. You will find details on all of these validations below.
Default validation is done for every country, except when stated otherwise.
By default, we check for each order whether the recipient has a house number or not. We also check whether the postal code is not empty.
For the Netherlands, we check whether the postal code has the correct format. Dutch postal codes consist of four numbers followed by two letters. The spacing between the number and letter parts does not matter. The letter part can be in uppercase or lowercase—it doesn't affect the validation process. We will ensure the correct formatting.
