12 countriesBuilt on authoritative sources, not guesswork
Postal data is only as good as where it comes from. We go to the primary source in every country — then standardise what we find so it behaves the same wherever you use it.
Primary local sources
We start from the authorities that actually maintain the data — national postal operators, statistical offices and mapping agencies — across 1,500 verified sources.
Collected first-hand
When data can't simply be downloaded, we go and get it — occasionally leaving a national postal company's office with a hard drive in hand.
Standardised end to end
Hundreds of incompatible feeds become one model: the same fields, naming and administrative hierarchy in every country.

Coverage you can build on
We're a small team that has spent fifteen years obsessing over postal and administrative data, with long-standing partnerships with operators such as USPS. Read the full story →
