UK address Standardization plugin?

I can see that Civi has an option for USPS plugin. Is there such a thing for UK users?

No.

There is a related piece of functionality that allows street addresses to be parsed into separate fields for street number and the rest of the street information (street name, street type, etc.). This works for street addresses that conform to US civic addresses, but doesn't support other address styles well, eg rural addresses. I wrote a bit of code to handle Canadian French civic addresses:
1A, rue Ste Catherine O instead of 1A St Catherine St W. I think someone has done one other address format for that. This is only important if you want to have a Walk List report that sorts nicely.

If you are interested in pursuing this in terms of funding development, it might be good to coordinate with me as I have Canadian clients who would like this but can't fund all of the required development, and I imagine there would be substantial overlap.

Cheers,
Joe

Thanks for the info. I don't think its a function that's mission critical so I wouldn't be able to get any funding, its something that we would like to have if it was available just because there is nothing worse than having to rely on people to enter their own data.

Thanks for all the info its much appreciated.
