Find an Address from a postcode

For businesses sending goods, invoices or direct marketing through the post, it is crucial mail arrives at the right place, on time, and is addressed correctly. Address lookup is an essential part of database management

The demos below show you two of the PostCoder^® products we offer which both use Royal Mail's Postcode Address File (PAF®) as their data source. They are restricted due to Royal Mail’s licencing conditions but we hope that the 8 free lookups per day (restricted by your IP address) for a maximum of 3 months ongoing daily use, will provide you with an example of our software.

Please use the demos below to check your addresses. Unfortunately we do not offer address lookup as an email or telephone service so if you cannot locate the address you are looking for, please contact Royal Mail. Thank you.

PostCoder Web SOAP is a service we offer for developers to integrate "address lookup" or a "find my nearest" search into a website. This demo simply shows the searches that are available. Please select a search type, enter your address details and click "find address". To try the service free for 21 days on your website register now online. Please note the full version requires technical development knowledge.

The 'Premise' is a house name or number of a property. A Google map can optionally be displayed with the address as shown below. Enter a Postcode, or all known details of the address, separated by commas (e.g. 13 Spruce Court, LOWESTOFT) and click 'Find Address'. If there is more than one result, select the correct address from the list to see the full address.

Address Details:

Thank you trying our free lookup service.

Use of this service is monitored by IP Address (yours is 38.103.63.55). Your IP Address has been used to complete all available free searches for today.

But I haven't done any address searches today?

Most companies and some ISPs use the same IP address for more than one user. This means that somebody else with the same IP Address could have used up all of the available FREE lookups for today from this IP Address. Why not try accessing the service first thing tomorrow, or consider trialling one of our PostCoder products.

What is an IP Address?

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard.

The numbers currently used in IP addresses range from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, though some of these values are reserved for specific purposes. This does not provide enough possibilities for every internet device to have its own permanent number. Subnet routing, Network Address Translation and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server all allow local networks to use the same IP addresses as other networks elsewhere though both are connected to the Internet.

How could I have unlimited lookups?

Buying PostCoder for your desktop would allow you to lookup as many addresses and Postcodes as you need to at any time. You could also print labels and send addresses into other applications with a single click.
