A postcode is the United Kingdom’s equivalent to the United States’ ZIP codes. The ZIP code allows the postal service to quickly sort and deliver mail. If a postcode is not placed on a piece of mail, it may prolong the delivery because it must be manually sorted. You can easily use a postcode to find people if you know where to begin. Experian provides a service for the U.K. on its website which allows individuals to search for people by postcode and address. Writer Bio
