Address Validation when Creating Account

Hi, my customer wants to do address validation when account is created. If the address is not valid, the end user needs to correct the address before the account is saved. They use Experian to do address validation.

Is there anyway to acheive this by using out of box New Account screen? Is it possible to overrite 'Save' button to trigger address validation before it saves account?

You can not call the Callouts from the trigger to get the real-time status.. I mean you can't fire the API synchronously as you need to do this address validation in before insert  .. 

SO over the New Button with VF page or lightning component .once user click on the save validate the address using the API
