The present application provides text address processing methods and apparatuses. Some method embodiments include: determining, according to social relation circles of users in a service system, at least one address set, each address set including at least two original text addresses; and performing, for each address set, normalization processing on original text addresses in the address set, to obtain a target text address corresponding to the address set. Some embodiments of the present application divides to-be-normalized original text addresses according to social relation circles of users, which, on one hand, is equivalent to reducing the range of the to-be-normalized original text addresses, and on the other hand, is equivalent to locking the normalization of text addresses between text addresses having an association. Therefore, it may be easier to control a fault-tolerant boundary between the text addresses, and may be conducive to improving accuracy of the normalization result.
