Following the closure of getaddress.io in February 2026, many organisations are searching for a getaddress.io alternative or replacement postcode lookup service.
AFD provides address lookup solutions using Royal Mail PAF and Ordnance Survey addressing data, supporting desktop software, APIs, CRM systems and ERP platforms including Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
For organisations previously using the getaddress.io API, AFD provides a supported address lookup API alternative for postcode lookup, address validation and data capture.
Our address lookup API for the UK supports real-time postcode lookup, address search and verified address capture using correctly licensed Royal Mail PAF data.
If you are looking to replace getaddress.io, AFD can help you migrate your address lookup integration with minimal disruption.
At AFD, our involvement with Royal Mail and the Postcode Address File (PAF®) extends far beyond simply reselling data.
For many years, AFD has played a direct and critical role in checking, processing and distributing the PAF® files on which more than 40,000 organisations rely. These files are used by millions every day across the UK – powering deliveries, identity verification, customer experience, fraud prevention, and operational logistics.
This work reflects a long‑standing, trusted partnership with Royal Mail’s Address Management Unit, and it is one of the reasons AFD’s address validation services are regarded as exceptionally reliable and compliant.
If your systems were previously integrated with GetAddress.io, AFD can help you transition quickly and confidently.
