See the demand pageNot yet. Padi is connected to the NIPOST Postcode API with a test key, and the test sandbox has no buildings in it. Until live access is approved, the postcodes and addresses you see are sample records, and every card says so. The moment access is granted, the same cards show official records with no change on your side.
As soon as NIPOST approves our live access. Our business verification and the request for level 2 and 3 access are submitted and under review. Join the waitlist and we will message you the day it switches on.
Each sign-up, pledge and signature goes into a demand report we share with NIPOST and the 3MTT programme. It shows how many people, in which states and for which uses, are waiting for verified postcodes. We never share your contact details in it.
Your chats, saved places and cards stay on your device. On our side we keep anonymous counts: that someone used a feature, and in which state. We do not store what you typed or your location. If you join the waitlist we keep the contact you give us, and nothing else.
No. Padi gives you a card with your postcode, a way to read it out clearly, and the 112 button. You make the call. It makes sure the person who answers can find you.
