When getaddress.io ceased operations on 4th February 2026, many organisations lost postcode lookup and address validation within their systems overnight.
If you were using getaddress.io, you may now be looking for a replacement address lookup provider.
AFD provides postcode lookup, address validation and address lookup APIs using Royal Mail PAF and Ordnance Survey addressing data. These services are used by organisations across software development, ecommerce, finance, healthcare, and the public sector.
Replacing GetAddress.io
AFD provides address lookup APIs, desktop solutions and system integrations that can replace getaddress.io postcode lookup services.
Whether getaddress.io was used within a website, CRM, ERP system, or custom application, AFD can provide a supported alternative using correctly licensed address data.
Migration from getaddress.io is straightforward. We can provide a replacement license the same day to ensure postcode lookup and address capture can be restored quickly.
Address lookup API alternative
For organisations that previously used the getaddress.io API, AFD provides a UK address lookup API supporting postcode lookup, address search and verified address capture.
The API can be used within websites, ecommerce platforms, CRM systems, and business software where address lookup is required.
Used by organisations across the UK
AFD address lookup solutions are used by thousands of organisations to capture addresses as they are entered into systems.
Incorrect addresses often lead to failed deliveries, returned mail, billing issues or duplicate customer records. Address lookup at the point of entry helps prevent these problems.
If you need to replace getaddress.io postcode lookup or address validation services, AFD can help.
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.
