I believe you can get such a database from the United States Post Office.
I remember them mailing me something several years ago, offering to convert
all the ZIP codes in my databases from five-digit format to the new, improved
nine-digit format.  This offer also included correcting and standardizing your
addresses, as much as possible.

I think this whole deal was free.
