Postcode ​Search

Find addresses by starting from a full postcode

Overview

If you have a full postcode, this is the most efficient way of getting the address.

Use the GetFullAddress method to get an address from a postcode, optionally filtering by building name or number.

This provides the most common postcode lookup use-case, allowing you to add a "Find" button next to a postcode field on your form to pull back a list of matching addresses.

The following methods implement Postcode Search in the AddressCapture service.

GetFullAddress

Gets a list of addresses on a postcode

ValidatePostcode

Checks if a postcode is syntactically valid.
