Wesminster Canadian Postal Code Lookup Service

Type the full street address, city, and province for the Canadian mailing address for which you want to locate the correct postal code. If you have an existing Postal Code, enter it as well, since it can be used to resolve ambiguities in the address.

If Westminster is successful in uniquely identifying the address you submitted, it will be returned to you standardized in accordance with Canada Post's criteria for Address Accuracy. Westminster's server will correct street and city mis-spellings, and will correct or add street types and directionals, as well as Postal Codes.

If Westminster finds multiple address solutions to your query, they will all be returned by the program. You can also enter just a Postal Code (you must leave the other fields blank), and the program will show you the range of addresses that it serves.

NOTE: Not all valid addresses are resolvable so feel free to experiment, but if you have questions about how Westminster operates, you should read the server's detailed discussion on Address Correction.
