==Usage==
The "delivery points" held on the PAF are routing instructions used by Royal Mail staff to sort and deliver mail quickly and accurately. Elements of the address, including the post town and postcode are occasionally subject to change, reflecting the operational structure of the postal delivery system. Each address is therefore not necessarily a geographically accurate description of where a property is located.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stevemorganuk21@hotmailpostcomm.comgov. uk/policy-and-consultations/consultations/postcode-address-file--changing-postal-addresses/PAFCodeofPracticeReviewFinalDoc.pdf |title=Ofcom &#124; Postal Services |publisher=Postcomm.gov.uk |date= |accessdate=2013-06-10}}</ref> Buildings which contain internal flats or businesses but only have one external front door, will only have those internal elements recorded in PAF if the Royal Mail have direct access to them using a key or fob.
