Overview

Uniquely identify addressable locations

UPRNs are the authoritative identifier used to uniquely identify addressable locations in Great Britain. Essential for bringing property and address information together.

Unique Property Reference Number

A Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) is a unique numeric identifier for every addressable location in Great Britain, found in OS's AddressBase products.

Addressable features

UPRNs are assigned to approximately 40 million addressable locations, which may be any kind of building; residential or commercial. It may also be an object that might not have a ‘postal ’ address – such as a bus shelter or electricity sub-station.
