This is the ONS Postcode Directory (ONSPD) for the United Kingdom as at February 2023 in Comma Separated Variable (CSV) and ASCII text (TXT) formats. This file contains the multi CSVs so that postcode areas can be opened in MS Excel. To download the zip file click the Download button. The ONSPD relates both current and terminated postcodes in the United Kingdom to a range of current statutory administrative, electoral, health and other area geographies. It also links postcodes to pre-2002 health areas, 1991 Census enumeration districts for England and Wales, 2001 Census Output Areas (OA) and Super Output Areas (SOA) for England and Wales, 2001 Census OAs and SOAs for Northern Ireland and 2001 Census OAs and Data Zones (DZ) for Scotland. It now contains 2021 Census OAs and SOAs for England and Wales. It helps support the production of area based statistics from postcoded data. The ONSPD is produced by ONS Geography, who provide geographic support to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and geographic services used by other organisations. The ONSPD is issued quarterly. (File size - 234 MB)NOTE: The 2022 ONSPDs included an incorrect update of the ITL field with two LA changes in Northamptonshire. This error has been corrected from the February 2023 ONSPD.NOTE: There was an issue with the originally published file where some change orders yet to be included in OS Boundary-LineÔ (including The Cumbria (Structural Changes) Order 2022, The North Yorkshire (Structural Changes) Order 2022 and The Somerset (Structural Changes) Order 2022) were mistakenly implemented for terminated postcodes. Version 2 corrects this, so that ward codes E05014171–E05014393 are not yet included. Please note that this product contains Royal Mail, Gridlink, LPS (Northern Ireland), Ordnance Survey and ONS Intellectual Property Rights.

Geoscape G-NAF is the geocoded address database for Australian businesses and governments. It’s the trusted source of geocoded address data for Australia with over 50 million contributed addresses distilled into 15.4 million G-NAF addresses. It is built and maintained by Geoscape Australia using independently examined and validated government data.

From 22 August 2022, Geoscape Australia is making G-NAF available in an additional simplified table format. G-NAF Core makes accessing geocoded addresses easier by utilising less technical effort.

G-NAF Core will be updated on a quarterly basis along with G-NAF.

Further information about contributors to G-NAF is available here.

With more than 15 million Australian physical address record, G-NAF is one of the most ubiquitous and powerful spatial datasets. The records include geocodes, which are latitude and longitude map coordinates. G-NAF does not contain personal information or details relating to individuals.

Updated versions of G-NAF are published on a quarterly basis. Previous versions are available here

Users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing either GDA94 or GDA2020 datums.

Changes in the May 2025 release

• Nationally, the May 2025 update of G-NAF shows an overall increase of 47,194 addresses (0.30%). The total number of addresses in G-NAF now stands at 15,753,927 of which 14,909,770 or 94.64% are principal.

• At some locations, there are unit-numbered addresses that appear to be duplicate addresses. Geoscape is working to identify these locations and include these addresses as separate addresses in G-NAF. To facilitate this process, some secondary addresses have had the word RETAIL added to their building names. In the first instance, this process is being progressively rolled out to identified locations, but it is expected that the requirement for this will become ongoing.

• There is one new locality in G-NAF: Keswick Island, QLD.

• The source data used for generating G-NAF STREET_LOCALITY_POINT data in New South Wales has an updated datum and changed from GDA94 to GDA2020. This has resulted in updates to the STREET_LOCALITY_POINT geometry for approximately 91,000 records, however, more than 95% of these have moved less than a metre.

• Geoscape has moved product descriptions, guides and reports online to https://docs.geoscape.com.au.

Further information on G-NAF, including FAQs on the data, is available here or through Geoscape Australia’s network of partners. They provide a range of commercial products based on G-NAF, including software solutions, consultancy and support.

Additional information: On 1 October 2020, PSMA Australia Limited began trading as Geoscape Australia.

A quick reference guide on unpacking the G-NAF is also available.

AbstractNational Address Points is a derived, spatial adaptation of Geoscape's Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF) product. It is a point dataset, with records representing the physical location of addresses in Australia.PurposeThis product has been developed for spatial visualisation and analysis of address points across Australia. It is optimised for visualisation through the Digital Atlas of Australia or a desktop GIS.For other uses of national address data consider using G-NAF or G-NAF Core.While G-NAF is available to the public under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, there are special restrictions relating to the use of the data for the sending of mail purposes.

It uses the available data model in the G-NAF product description to appropriately join the tables into a flat structure and is geocoded using the latitude and longitude attributes in GDA2020. During development, decisions have been made to include or exclude certain attributes, as well as develop new ones where suitable. These decisions maintain the integrity of the original dataset and were made considering envisioned use case(s) and access of the dataset in the Digital Atlas of Australia.Two additional attributes have been developed and included in the National Address Points dataset: COMPLETE_ADDRESS and MB_CENSUS_YEAR.COMPLETE_ADDRESS is a concatenated, complete address string of the address components (i.e. Flat attributes, Level attributes, Lot attributes, Street Number attributes, Street Name attributes, Locality, State and Postcode).MB_CENSUS_YEAR is the year of the ABS Census the Mesh Block data is extracted from. The psv file that with this information is dynamically named and attributed (with the year in the file name and attribute name). A method has been developed to ensure this is consistently and accurately populated.Attributes excluded from the final National Address Points product are still accessible to users by downloading and joining to Geoscape's original G-NAF product, found at data.gov.au.Original G-NAF attribute names, data types and data content included in National Address Points are not changed.Data DictionaryAttribute NameDescriptionADDRESS_DETAIL_PIDThe Persistent Identifier is unique to the real world feature this record represents.DATE_CREATEDDate the address record was created.DATE_LAST_MODIFIEDDate the address record was last modified.DATE_RETIREDDate the address record was retired.COMPLETE_ADDRESSA concatenated complete address string of address components (Flat, Level, Lot, Street Number, Street Name attributes, Locality, State and Postcode).ADDRESS_SITE_NAMEAddress site name.BUILDING_NAMECombines both building/property name fields.LOCATION_DESCRIPTIONA general field to capture various references to address locations alongside another physical location.FLAT_TYPESpecification of the type of a separately identifiable portion within a building/complex.FLAT_NUMBER_PREFIXFlat/unit number prefix.FLAT_NUMBERFlat/unit number.FLAT_NUMBER_SUFFIXFlat/unit number suffix.LEVEL_TYPELevel Type.LEVEL_NUMBER_PREFIXLevel number prefix.LEVEL_NUMBERLevel number.LEVEL_NUMBER_SUFFIXLevel number suffix.NUMBER_FIRST_PREFIXPrefix for the first (or only) number in range.NUMBER_FIRSTIdentifies first (or only) street number in range.NUMBER_FIRST_SUFFIXSuffix for the first (or only) number in range.NUMBER_LAST_PREFIXPrefix for the last number in range.NUMBER_LASTIdentifies last number in range.NUMBER_LAST_SUFFIXSuffix for the last number in range.LOT_NUMBER_PREFIXLot number prefix.LOT_NUMBERLot number.LOT_NUMBER_SUFFIXLot number suffix.STREET_NAMEStreet name. e.g. "POPLAR".STREET_TYPEStreet type in full text (e.g. AVENUE, PARADE, STREET).STREET_SUFFIXStreet suffix in full text (e.g. EAST, WEST).LOCALITY_NAMEThe name of the locality or suburb.STATEThe state or territory abbreviation.POSTCODEPostcode.LEGAL_PARCEL_IDGeneric parcel id field derived from the Geoscape Australia’s Cadastre parcel where available.MB_CODEThe mesh block code.MB_CENSUS_YEARThe ABS Census Year the mesh block codes is extracted from.GEOCODE_TYPEName of the geocode type.LEVEL_GEOCODEDName of the geocode level type code.ADDRESS_TYPEAddress type (e.g. "Postal", Physical").PRIVATE_STREETPrivate street information.ALIAS_PRINCIPALA = Alias record, P = Principal record.ALIAS_TYPEAlias type (e.g. "Synonym").PRINCIPAL_PIDPersistent identifier (i.e. ADDRESS_DETAIL_PID) of the principal address.PRIMARY_SECONDARYIndicator that identifies if the address is P (Primary) or S (Secondary).PRIMARY_PIDPersistent identifier for the primary address.LONGITUDELongitude.LATITUDELatitude.CONFIDENCEReflects how many contributor databases this address appears in (0 = 1 database, 1 = 2 database etc.).ContactThe Digital Atlas of Australia: digitalatlas@ga.gov.au

Background

This dataset provides all allocated addresses as advised to Toitū Te Whenua LINZ by Territorial Authorities (TAs). Under the Local Government Act 1974 (section 319) it is the responsibility of the TAs to advise the Surveyor-General at Toitū Te Whenua LINZ of all allocated addresses in their district.

Address data is maintained by Toitū Te Whenua LINZ in the Address Information Management System (AIMS) and Comprehensive Address Data Store (CADS), which are centralised databases for the management of national addresses, including for electoral purposes. This dataset is updated weekly on the LINZ Data Service.

APIs and web services This dataset is available via ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS REST services, as well as our standard APIs. LDS APIs and OGC web services ArcGIS Online map services
