ValidateAddress Service Operation - Customer Management
Determines whether or not the submitted address is valid for Microsoft Advertising accounts.
If the address is valid you can use it as the account BusinessAddress.
For Australia (AU), Canada (CA), and The United States (US), the operation validates whether or not you could ship something to the address. For all other countries or regions basic address verification (AVS) is completed.
