33,292 new postcodes added
We refreshed the postcode database against the Office for National Statistics Postcode Directory (February 2026 release). This added 33,292 newly created live postcodes that had come into use since our previous data, bringing the total to 1,827,826 active UK postcodes.
Each new postcode includes its exact coordinates, local council, electoral ward, parliamentary constituency, county, region and country, so every new address now has a full lookup page and appears in nearby-postcode results.
No existing records were removed. Postcodes that have been officially retired remain searchable for reference.
