Google isn't the authority for addresses. For the US, Google probably buys the bulk USPS Postal Service Address Information System to get their data. The Post Office has people on the ground, unlike Google, which is a data aggregator. First, look up your address in the USPS ZIP Code retrieval system.[1] If it's in there, the USPS knows where you are. If your address isn't listed, "contact the local Post Office and request their assistance in resolving the problem." They can submit updates to the database. Once that entry is right, if anyone questions your address, point them at USPS ZIP Code Lookup. I've had to do some of this. I live at the end of a private street where the neighbors put up a street sign, in a ZIP code that crosses a city line, next to a road easement for an un-built road. USPS, Pacific Gas and Electric, and the County of San Mateo all got this right. The official data is correct. Open Street Map, Google, and the low-end GPS systems used by delivery drivers had problems. I had to log into Open Street Map, which had my street and the next street confused. Fixed that. Gradually, this propagated to Doordash, UPS, FedEx, etc. It took about a year before Tom-Tom updated, and I used to get calls from lost Doordash drivers. Putting up large high-quality house numbers on the house and gatepost also helped. Never had any problems with banks, voting, taxes, or anything official. Only low-end service providers.
