How do I find the UPRN of an address?

Overview

UPRN stands for Unique Property Reference Number. It's a unique code assigned to every addressable property in Great Britain.

It's commonly used to identify properties without having to list the whole address.

UPRNs are used by Local Authorities for things like matching properties to Council Tax records, and various other back-office systems.

If you quote a UPRN to a Local Authority, they will know what it means (well they should anyway!).

Notes
Please note: UPRNs are part of Ordnance Survey NGD Addresses and are licenced under the PSGA, so any data used still carries the licence terms of the PSGA. However, if you're feeling nerdy, you can download OS Open UPRN, which isn't updated as regularly but gives you the UPRNs under an Open Data licence.

Find a UPRN

To find a UPRN of an address:

From the map

  1. Switch on the Addresses layer in the Addresses collection to display the map of points sitting over every addressable property. (this may be in a slightly different position in the list to he screenshot below)
  2. Click on the map over one of the points.
  3. View the UPRN in the left-hand panel







  1. Click within the search box in the top right and select "Advanced Search" (make sure this is set to Address Search rather than Postcode only from the drop down arrow within the search box)
  2. Click Advanced Search and view the list of results
  3. Select an address from the list
  4. Click the "Copy UPRN" button




Using Data Extract

Please refer to the Data Extract tutorial. If you use it to export addresses then the results will include UPRNs. This is useful for downloading a batch of UPRNs.
