At AFD, our work with Royal Mail and the Postcode Address File (PAF®) has always extended far beyond the role of a typical data distributor.
For many years, we’ve been directly involved in the checking, processing and distribution of the PAF® files used by more than 40,000 organisations across the UK. Millions of daily transactions rely on these datasets for accurate deliveries, identity verification, fraud prevention, customer experience, and operational logistics.
This close, trusted partnership with Royal Mail’s Address Management Unit is central to the reliability and compliance standards we uphold. It’s also one of the key reasons our address validation services are recognised for their stability, integrity and accuracy.
If your systems previously depended on GetAddress.io, we’re ready to help you transition smoothly and securely. Our team can support a rapid migration with minimal disruption, ensuring your address‑lookup capabilities remain reliable and compliant.
For immediate assistance, you can contact us on 0333 433 0711 or email postcode@afd.co.uk.
We’re here to make sure your operations don’t miss a beat.
We serve thousands of organisations and a network of hundreds of partners across multiple industry sectors, enabling them to have full confidence in their contact data.
