Real address generator

Addresses that pass real-world checks where it matters: the city, state and ZIP or postcode are a genuine combination from published postal data. Only the street name and house number are made up, so a result never belongs to someone’s actual home.

Why not publish real home addresses?

Some sites hand out what look like real people’s names, phone numbers and home addresses. Using those in tests or sign-ups can send mail, deliveries or verification calls to strangers, and it exposes personal data. For almost every testing need, what has to be real is the geography: does the ZIP match the city, does the state get the right tax rate, does the courier zone resolve? That part is real here. The household is not.

If you need to confirm that an address really exists, use the official tools of the postal operator, such as USPS ZIP Code Lookup, Royal Mail’s Postcode Finder or Canada Post’s Find a Postal Code. Country pages link to the official lookup where Google’s metadata lists one.
