United Kingdom's Postal Code Format

The United Kingdom uses a “Postcode” system, which is an alphanumeric format like AA9 9AA. This format typically consists of six to eight characters, with a space separating the outward code (area and district) from the inward code (sector and unit). The GeoPostcodes world postal code database indicates that the United Kingdom has 1,795,653 postcodes covering 402 regions and 32,082 towns. Unlike the purely numeric five-digit US ZIP codes, the UK Postcode system is alphanumeric and more granular, often identifying a handful of addresses.

  • Postcode Format: AA9 9AA

    • Alphanumeric format, 6–8 characters with a space before the last 3
    • Two parts: outward code (area + district) and inward code (sector + unit)
    • Extremely granular, often down to a single building (~15 addresses per unit)
    • 1,795,653 postcodes covering 402 regions and 32,082 towns

    Regional Examples:

    • SW1A 1AA - London (England)
    • EH1 1BB - Edinburgh (Scotland)
    • CF10 1AA - Cardiff (Wales)
    • BT1 5GS - Belfast (Northern Ireland)

  • Structure of Postcodes

    • Format: Alphanumeric, 6–8 characters (e.g., SW1A 1AA).
    • Hierarchical levels: Outward code = area + district; inward code = sector + unit.
    • Key challenges: Postcodes are routing-oriented, not geographic; some span administrative boundaries. British Forces and island codes exist separately.

  • Management & Authority

    • Primary postal authority: Royal Mail.
    • Update frequency: Official updates weekly; redistributed quarterly via licensed partners.
    • Coverage: Applies to England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland; British Forces postcodes are managed separately.

  • Addressing Standards

    • Common address format: [Double Dependent Locality] + [Dependent Locality] + [Post Town in capitals] + [Postcode].
    • Administrative divisions used: None encoded; postcode data is linked to admin divisions externally.
    • Notes: Dependent and double dependent localities are unique to Royal Mail routing and do not always match administrative geography.

  • Special Characteristics

    • Micro-postcodes usually cover around 15 addresses (range 1–100).
    • High change rate: 10,000+ postcode updates per quarter are common.
    • Postal and administrative boundaries do not align cleanly, especially in border areas.
    • Postcode data is licensed, not open; derivative datasets cannot be marketed as “official Royal Mail data.”
