How to generate random addresses

  1. Choose a country, then a state or region, or search for a city.

  2. Set how many addresses you need (1–100) and generate.

  3. Copy one field, one address or the whole batch, or download it as JSON or CSV.

Where the places come from

Cities, regions and postcodes come from GeoNames under a CC BY 4.0 licence. Streets and house numbers are built from common local street names, so a match with a real address is a coincidence.

GeoNames CC BY 4.0

Useful for forms and software tests

Test checkout and shipping forms, postcode validation, address layouts in other languages, database seeds and demos. Store postcodes as text: many start with zero or contain letters.

Questions about random addresses

How do you write an address in Nigeria?

Line by line: street and number / district / city postcode / region / COUNTRY. For example: 69 Market Road, Faskari 137625, Katsina State, NIGERIA.

What is the postcode format in Nigeria?

Nigeria uses the postcode pattern ######, where # is a digit and @ is a letter.

Which places can I get a random address for in Nigeria?

925 cities and towns, for example Lagos, Kano, Ibadan, Abuja, Port Harcourt. Pick a region or search for any city.

Are these real addresses?

The city, region and postcode are real and appear together in postal data. The street and house number are invented, so the full address is test data and is not checked for delivery.

Can I generate many addresses at once?

Yes, up to 100 per batch. Copy them all or download JSON or CSV. Places can repeat when a city has few postcodes, but every address in a batch is different.

Can I link to a batch or use it in a script?

Every country, region and city has its own page. Add ?count=25 to the page address to set the batch size, or add &format=json to get JSON.
