Street Naming and Numbering
If you are are creating a new address by converting or building a new property, or you wish to add or change the name of your property you can apply and pay online by clicking on the

Milton Keynes Council has a statutory power to name and number streets as well as to approve and officially register property addresses within the Borough.
The Royal Mail will not allocate a postcode until they receive official notification of new or amended addresses from the Council.
If a property is not 'registered' through the street naming and numbering process the address will not appear on the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) or the Royal Mail Postal Address File (PAF) and the owner/occupier may encounter difficulties in obtaining services such as utilities, applying for credit cards, mobile phone contracts, obtaining mail order goods and perhaps more critically being located by the emergency services in emergencies.
