SendRight™ certification

The SendRight™ Address Accuracy Programme includes a software certification process which allows address validation software developed by commercial or in-house software developers to be tested against published accuracy and quality standards. Software that is SendRight™ certified means it is officially approved to issue SOAs to mailers.

Data services providers and in-house software developers can apply to have their software SendRight™ certified by New Zealand Post. Once SendRight™ certified, suppliers can use the SendRight™ certified mark on their brochures and website. The SendRight™ Address Accuracy Programme Certification handbook (.pdf - 2mb) contains full details of the programme. If you wish to register, follow the procedure below.
