Postcode Example Demo This example page shows the component parts of the information returned and different ways that you can make use of that information - depending on the requirements of your system and what information you need to capture.
Please note that "County" is not part of the returned dataset. Royal Mail have not supported the County information for some time as it is not needed for postal usage and with county boundaries changing, a postcode can move in or out of a county.
AB10 7QG has an organisation name and a department name without having a premises name or number
AB12 3GQ has 2 address elements after the road but before the town
ZE1 0YJ has a PO Box number address
AB21 0BA is a full address using all available boxes
Some systems require the "premise" (i.e. house number) be separate from the street on the address. For a company, this often isnt possible because they may have multiple lines before a street and so sometimes these results will look the same as the results above, but where you have home type addresses, with 27 Acacia Avenue, we arrange for the 27 to be on the first line and the Acacia Avenue to be on the next
