What is email validation and verification?

Email validation ensures that the email addresses you collect and store are valid and deliverable.

Experian Email Validation is the most effective way to ensure only accurate, complete and correctly formatted emails populate your customer database. When a customer or a lead enters an email address into your online form, Experian Email Validation checks validity and accuracy, including spelling and format, corrects common mistakes in domains, and pings the inbox in real-time to ensure the email address exists, helping you capture the right information the first time around. Our filters for temporary emails, spam traps, and profanity emails flag and remove bad emails instantly, leaving only the most credible leads.

And we can apply those same checks to the data you’ve already collected, cleansing your database in batch so that you only use valid email addresses.
