> You're not going to stop people from misentering addresses, and many countries have terrible validation or streets that don't exist yet take forever to show. I live in a place where the official address changed: as in we got a letter (in 2016 I think) from the town hall saying "your address is now ... and you have to ask everybody to mail you at that new address". Well... Most utility bills' systems have been programmed in a way that make it impossible to keep the same "installation ID" (as in the ID on our electrical install) while changing the address. Somehow "the street got a new name" is a case that had never been planned. The implications are wild (for example the bank refusing to open an account because the official, legal, address doesn't match the address on the utility bill and then the contry's IRS thinking there are shenanigans going on). That's in a civilized, western EU, country. It's Brazil (the movie). |

This feels a lot like Germany (from experience).
