1. A method, comprising the steps of:
- executing, by a server hardware computing device coupled to a network and comprising at least one processor executing specific computer-executable instructions within a memory, at least one database command storing, in association with in a database communicatively coupled to the network;
a user account identifier for a domain name account;
a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or Quick Response (QR) code;
a postal correspondence address; and
a domain name within at least one domain name record;
responsive to the server hardware computing device decoding a trigger, automatically generating, by the server hardware computing device, a postal correspondence to be sent to the postal correspondence address,the postal correspondence displaying;
the PIN or the QR code; and
a uniform resource locator for accessing a graphical user interface (GUI) including a GUI control for entering the PIN or for receiving a scan of the QR code; and
responsive to receiving a transmission from the GUI encoding a user input of the PIN or the scanned QR code, executing, by the server hardware computing device, a second database command updating the at least one domain name record to include;
a status reflecting a verification of the postal correspondence address; and
a date of the verification.

Abstract
Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: generate a code to verify a correspondence address; store the code in association with a domain name; retrieve a correspondence address within a domain name record for the domain name; generate a correspondence to be sent to the correspondence address including the code and a URL for accessing a user interface for entering the code; determine whether the code has been entered into the user interface; and if so, update the domain name record to include a status reflecting a verification of the correspondence address and a date of the verification.
