How does Ely postcode lookup work?
A Ely postcode lookup matches a full or partial postcode against Royal Mail's Postcode Address File (PAF), the UK's official address database of around 31 million addresses across roughly 1.8 million postcodes. You type a Ely postcode, AutoPostcode returns every deliverable address at that location in milliseconds, and the user selects the correct one — no manual typing, no typos.
AutoPostcode's Ely data is drawn from the same national PAF file used by Royal Mail, so a lookup in Ely is as accurate as anywhere else in the UK. Integrate it through our postcode lookup API or drop the widget into any checkout with a few lines of code.
Which postcodes does Ely use?
Ely sits across the CB postcode area, from the city centre (CB7) to Littleport (CB6) and Soham (CB7), plus surrounding Fenland villages. The wider CB area also spans Cambridge and Newmarket, all resolvable against Royal Mail PAF.
