Things You Won't Need ⛔️​

Adding unnecessary address details can do more harm than good. Unnecessary address fields create more information to sift through, creating a larger surface area for mistakes to appear and occasionally can be misleading.

  • County. Adding county information to an address does not make it easier to route. Royal Mail recommends against including county. Sometimes county information creates more confusion than clarity
  • Village, borough, city or town name. As long as you've correctly specified the post town and/or postcode, these are unimportant details
  • Country. Unless you are delivering internationally, Royal Mail actually recommends against including country
tip

Some addresses are just the organisation name, post town and postcode. So it is often a good idea not to remove this from the address during collection. County names should be avoided when identifying a premise.
