FAQs

Where Does the Post Office Data Come From?
- Directly from OpenStreetMap, available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL).
How Often Is It Updated?
- The list is refreshed daily to ensure data is accurate and timely, though post offices don’t tend to change often.
What Do the Type Codes Mean?
- It’s a value that determines whether this is a counter-style branch or a dedicated building or area. It’s up to the reader to judge the true difference between the dedicated area upstairs in WH Smith’s and half a newsagents on Bath Road, for example.
What Can You Do in a Post Office

- Sending letters and parcels, first and second class post
- Buying stamps and postage
- Passport applications and Check & Send
- Bill payments and travel money
- Cash withdrawals and deposits (banking services)
