What does a correct postal address include?

A correct postal address normally includes:

The name of the person or organisation receiving the mail
The number or name of the house and the name of the street or road. In rural areas the name of the locality or townland should be shown
For Dublin addresses the postal district number, where applicable, should always be shown
Note that some postal addresses include the name of a county other than the one in which the address is geographically located, e.g. Ardmore, Youghal, Co. Cork (Ardmore is geographically in Co. Waterford)
The Eircode for the address should be the last line for mail generated within Ireland and the second last line for mail generated outside the country

An Post capture a new building when there are rising walls at a location – when the foundations are laid, the walls are rising and it has reached plate level.

Please provide the full address details, the geographical coordinates relating to the property and/or a screenshot locating your property from the Eircode map along with the closest neighbouring eircodes.

A planning reference number and a photo of what stage the build is at would be most helpful on a new build.

The An Post database does not record derelict/ vacant properties.
In order to be considered for addition to the An Post database, renovation works should be underway on the building to bring the house back to an active address for An Post. Please provide evidence of works underway ( photos are suitable) along with location information.

• Address information example: unit/apt/building name & number, street/development name, locality, town & Eircode (if available)
• Location Information example: Map image showing the location or an Eircode to the nearest building will help with locating an address

An Post deal with postal addresses. A postal address has one purpose: to enable An Post to route your mail so that we can deliver your mail to you as quickly as possible.

Please advise the full address details ,if the building is pinned in the correct location and what amendment you believe should be made.
