AddressBase Core Getting Started Guide

This getting started guide provides instructions for using AddressBase Core in different software applications. Users with limited technical knowledge will be able to follow this guide.

AddressBase Core is an easy-to-use, accessible addressing data product that gives plug-and-play access to complete and accurate address data. It combines key elements from existing AddressBase products into a simplified product.

AddressBase Core's primary source of addressing information is Local Authorities who have the statutory responsibility to capture and maintain Great Britain's address data. This ensures that the data is both authentic and authoritative in nature. Records are supplemented with Royal Mail Postal Address File (PAF) information and additional Ordnance Survey information on the usage of the address and unique identifiers that allow links to other OS and third-party datasets. Please read Data sources in AddressBase general for further details.
