General Questions

AddressGen is a web application that generates random address information for various countries including the United States, United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. It creates realistic but fictional personal data such as addresses, names, phone numbers, email addresses, and credit card information for testing, development, or data privacy purposes.

Random address generation is useful for various purposes:

  • Software testing and development
  • Database population for demos
  • UI/UX testing with realistic data
  • Protecting privacy by avoiding the use of real personal information
  • Creating sample data for educational purposes
  • Testing e-commerce checkout flows

Currently, AddressGen supports address generation for:

  • United States (including all 50 states and territories)
  • United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland)
  • Hong Kong

We're continuously working to add more countries and regions to our service. If you need a specific country that isn't currently supported, please let us know through our feedback page.

Usage & Features

Generating address information is simple:

  1. Select the country for which you want to generate addresses
  2. Choose the types of information you need (name, address, phone, email, credit card, etc.)
  3. Specify the quantity of records you want to generate (up to 100 at once)
  4. Click the "Generate Information" button
  5. View, copy, or download the generated data

AddressGen can generate the following types of information:

  • Full names (first, middle, last)
  • Complete addresses (street, city, state/province, postal code)
  • Phone numbers (formatted according to country standards)
  • Email addresses
  • Credit card information (number, expiration date, CVV)
  • Date of birth
  • Social Security Numbers (US) or ID numbers
  • Occupation and company information

You can select exactly which information types you need for your specific use case.

Yes, you can download the generated data in CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format, which can be easily imported into spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, as well as databases and other software systems.

You can also copy the generated data directly to your clipboard for immediate use in other applications.

Privacy & Security

No, all information generated by AddressGen is completely fictional. While the data follows the correct formats and conventions for each country (such as postal code patterns, phone number formats, etc.), it does not correspond to real individuals, addresses, or credit cards.

Our algorithms ensure that the generated data looks realistic but does not match actual people or places, protecting privacy and preventing accidental misuse.

The credit card numbers generated by our system pass the Luhn algorithm check (the standard validation algorithm used by credit card companies), which means they have valid formats and check digits. However, they are not connected to actual bank accounts and cannot be used for real transactions.

These numbers are specifically designed for testing payment systems, forms, and software without using real credit card information.

No, we do not store any of the information generated by our service. All data is created on-demand when you request it and is not saved on our servers after it's delivered to you.

This approach ensures maximum privacy and security, as the generated data exists only on your device after generation.

Technical Details

Our address generation system uses a combination of algorithms and databases of common street names, cities, states/provinces, and postal code patterns for each supported country. The system ensures that:

  • Street numbers are within realistic ranges
  • Street names sound natural and follow country-specific patterns
  • Cities are paired with their correct states/provinces
  • Postal codes match the correct format for the region
  • All components together form a plausible (though fictional) address

Yes, we offer a RESTful API that allows developers to integrate our address generation capabilities directly into their applications, testing frameworks, or development environments.

The API supports all the same features as the web interface, including:

  • Selecting specific countries
  • Choosing which information types to generate
  • Generating multiple records in a single request
  • Receiving data in JSON or CSV format

For API documentation and access keys, please visit our developer portal or contact our support team.
