Are your visitors where they say they are?
MaxMind Location Verification services enable you to verify your Internet visitor's location on the following parameters:

• Distance only
  
• Distance & City

This service is useful for validating user registration information or checking whether an Internet communication is coming from a reliable source. If you are looking for a solution to prevent credit card fraud, we recommend using MaxMind's Credit Card Fraud Detection service instead.

Are your visitors where they say they are? This free service uses the MaxMind GeoIP City database to give an estimated distance between the entered city, region and country and the location of the IP address. Download our PHP, Perl and Java APIs for the Location Verification Service.
