Central Postcode Directory (May 2008)

The Central Postcode Directory (CPD) has been compiled for users by NISRA Geography.  It relates both current and terminated postcodes in Northern Ireland to a range of statutory, administrative, electoral and other area geographies.

The CPD is primarily based on an extract from the ´National Statistics Postcode Directory´ (NSPD) which is produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).  The CPD provides a direct look-up between postcodes as of 31st March 2008 and a range of geographies including Local Government Districts, Wards, Census Output Areas, Census Super Output Areas and Parliamentary Constituencies among others.  A full list can obtained in the Guidance Notes which can be viewed via the link below.

CPD is available for download in either Access 2000 or Text file (dollar ($) separated variables) format.  However, users must sign and return the Terms and Conditions document available HERE to receive a password for access to download CPD from this website.
