21628: Address Validation Error
Phone Numbers
Twilio returns this error when the address you submit to the Address resource does not pass validation in a country where address validation is required for phone number regulatory compliance. Twilio does not create the address when validation fails.
- The submitted street, city, region, postal code, or country does not match a valid address in the validation provider's data.
- The address contains misspellings, extra spaces, punctuation, or special characters that prevent validation.
- The address format does not follow country-specific expectations. For example, US addresses require a two-letter state abbreviation in
Regionand a standard 5-digit ZIP code inPostalCode. - The address is valid in the real world, but the external validation service cannot find it in the expected format.
- Confirm that the address is the end user's physical business or residential address and that all required fields are complete, including
Street,City,Region,PostalCode, andIsoCountry. - Remove leading and trailing spaces. Remove unnecessary punctuation and special characters from the address and name fields.
- Try a standardized street format, such as common abbreviations like
StorAvewithout punctuation. - For US addresses, send the state as a two-letter abbreviation in
Regionand use a 5-digit ZIP code inPostalCode. - If you are updating an existing unvalidated address, submit a
POSTrequest to the Address instance with all address fields to trigger validation again. - If the address is already linked to phone numbers and cannot be modified or revalidated, create a new address and use that address for regulatory compliance or emergency address registration.
- If validation continues to fail, contact Support.
