GRC Database Information

"I want a list of postal codes with their latitude and longitude information"

GRC Database Information resells GIS files for a number of countries made available by GfK Geomarketing.  These files contain postal codes, places names and latitude/longitude information.  Read the full information here.  Our own settlements/postal code combinations tables contains map co-ordinates for some countries to different levels, and this file lends itself to being geocoded. Lists of postal codes including latitude and longitude information can also be had from a various GIS companies listed on our page here.

"Can you tell me the address of my friend/mother/father/granny/uncle/secondcousin ..... x?  I have lost touch with him/her"

No, unfortunately we cannot.  We have the same tools at our disposal to find individuals as you do.  We cannot search for individuals or individual addresses and we are forced to ignore messages asking us to do so. 

"I am trying to track a piece of mail from ... to .... which has failed to arrive.  Can you help?"

In general, unless you send mail by registered post, it cannot be tracked.  In any case, we have no affiliation with any postal service and cannot help in such matters - you need to contact the postal authorities concerned.

"I am looking for a list of addresses for x type of company in y region or country"

We are not list brokers and do not provide any real name and address lists in any form whatsoever.

"Can you tell me the postal code for the following address?"

Usually, but we don't have time to answer these types of queries.  You can find out yourself by following the appropriate postal code link from our page here. 

"I am looking for postal code tables"

We have a set of data containing postal codes and settlement names (information here).  Apart from this table, we are unable to provide postal code tables.  They can be provided either by each postal authority individually or by certain companies which collect and resell data. Check the list of companies providing international data services here.  Prices vary from free (usually state-owned postal authorities) to very hefty (usually privatised postal authorities).  Approach each postal authority individually if you don't use one of the companies which resell data.  If you are interested in using our consultancy services to find and/or assess postal and address data, please send us a message using the webform below.  

"What is the postal code of [country name]?"

It's amazing how often this question gets asked.  Very few countries have only one single postal code.  Almost all countries have many hundreds or thousands of codes, depending on the postal address. We cannot therefore give you a single code for a country which has thousands of codes.  It may be that you are looking for a country code, such as US or NL.  If that is so, check out the appropriate links here.

"Please add a link for country x onto your page.  I can't find their page"

We add a link to every relevant page that we, or our contacts, find.  If it's not there, it's because we haven't found it or because it's not on the web yet. 

"I would like to swap links - if you add my site to your page, I'll add a link to your site in return"

We are happy to add links to any site which is relevant to these pages (i.e. it pertains to name and address data management, data quality or postal matters).  We do not add non-relevant links under any circumstances.

"How do I get my novelty ID / please send my ID to / how do I pay for my ID ...."

Despite our protestations a "novelty ID" site is linking in a misleading way to our site.  If you need information about your "novelty ID" you need to go back to the site which provides it - we have no connection to that site whatsoever.
