Global Address Newsletter 

Welcome to Melissa’s 2025 Quarter 2 Global Address Newsletter. We have some exciting developments in the works that we believe will be great new additions for our users.

2025 Q2

 

Germany Postfiliale

We are excited to continue our investment in Germany and to expand both the breadth and depth of our coverage. Previously, we added the following:

  • Postfach and Packstation data
  • Special bulk postal code logic
  • Special Austrian mountain towns that receive mail from Deutsche Post

Now, we are pleased to add another data set of Deutsche Post DHL branch locations, called Postfiliale. We have added over 22,000 DHL Branch location records, in addition to nearly 15,000 Packstation locations and over one million Postfach addresses already in our database.

Mexico

Melissa has made a significant investment in Mexico address data. While we already have access to data from Correos de México, also known as SEPOMEX, this data is postal code level only. We dedicated substantial time, effort, and capital to identifying possible sources, evaluating and testing them, and acquiring the highest quality data. As a result, we anticipate a considerable improvement in both coverage and the availability of geo-coordinates for our users.

Spain

Based on user feedback, we have made a serious effort to clean up existing data and incorporate new data from additional sources. Unfortunately, address data in Spain is not as clean or uniform as in other Western European countries. However, Melissa remains committed to ensuring that the best possible data is available to our users.

Non-Postal Data

In this update, we have added over 600,000 non-postal addresses for the United States. These are real addresses that are not serviced by the United States Postal Service. They may be rural areas or small towns where the residents are required to use a PO Box.

Additionally, we are continually working on adding non-postal data coverage for other countries. We recently added 700,000 non-postal addresses for Australia. Some countries on the horizon are:

  • Canada
  • France

Upcoming

Brazil Postal Data

Melissa is establishing a new relationship with Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos, also known as Correios. They are the national postal service provider for Brazil, the 7th most populated country in the world with over 212 million people. Bazil has long been a challenging country to provide address verification for. We are hopeful this new relationship will allow us to provide the best solution possible.

Poland New Data

We have a new source for Poland in the works. We expect to have a high-quality source with high precision geocoding available for our users in the next quarter.

Many More Improvements in the Pipeline

Here at Melissa, we are constantly working on improving our data and engine. It is a never-ending process. Just a few upcoming items currently in the pipeline include:

  • Data enhancements for Slovakia
  • New estate-level support for Hong Kong
  • Improved country detection
