I am trying to validate addresses input from users, where they give their street name, zip code, house number etc ...
The question is, how can I validate weather the address is valid?
The even better question would be, how can I check using the IP of the user, weather the input match the current country of the user or not, according to those informations I am gonna flash some validation errors.
Can I implement this in a Google Map for example?
Thanks

Laravel provides validation rules to validate input fields. You can check if an email is valid or not in Laravel using the validate method by passing in the validation rules. You can validate your email addresses using one or more of the validation rules we have discussed.
Validation is the process of checking the incoming data. By default, laravel provides the base controller class that uses the ValidatesRequests trait to validate all the incoming Http requests.
You can't.
There are simply too many edge cases, where addresses might seem wrongful, but are correct. Where I live some companies get their own zip code, also some roads do and some addresses does not have a town name.
If you want to be as precise as possible, you should ask the user to enter their address through a Google Maps auto complete field, as Google Maps knows a lot of the edge cases.
That being said, It's not accurate to check whether the users inputted address matches their origin country, as they can be behind a VPN. Also some IP addresses maps to another country than the user is actually in.
