How to Find Your Current Address
- Open this page and tap Get my exact address.
- When your browser asks to share your location, choose Allow.
- Your full street address appears at the top. Tap Copy address to paste it into a message, a ride-share app or a form.
Behind the scenes your phone or computer works out its position from GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile signals. We then look up the nearest mapped street address to those coordinates (this is called reverse geocoding) using open map data from OpenStreetMap. If you need the raw numbers instead, see your exact GPS coordinates on our location finder.
Exact address vs approximate area
- Exact (GPS): with location access allowed you get a house number and street, usually accurate to the building.
- Approximate (IP): without permission we can only estimate your city, region and postal area from your internet connection. That is labelled as approximate and is never a street address.
When the address looks wrong
The address shown is the closest one on the map, so it can be off when you are indoors, in a large apartment complex, on a farm or rural road, or in a new development that isn't mapped yet. Step near a window or outside and tap the button again, or type your street in the box above. If you are on a VPN, the approximate area will reflect the VPN server, not you.
Current address vs mailing address
Where you are standing and where your mail is delivered are not always the same thing. Postal services may use a neighbouring town name, a unit or suite number, or a PO box. Use this page to tell someone where you are right now; check your post or your postal service's lookup before using an address on official forms.
Sharing your address safely
Only share your address with people and services you trust. For a one-off meeting point it is often enough to share the street and city, or a Plus Code for the exact spot without a house number.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is my address right now?
Allow location access when your browser asks and this page shows the street address closest to your device's GPS position, including house number, street, city, state or region, ZIP/postal code and country. Use the Copy button to paste it anywhere.
Why is the address slightly wrong?
The address is the nearest one on the map to your GPS position. Indoors, in apartment blocks, on large lots or in rural areas the nearest mapped address can be a neighbour's or the street next to yours. GPS can also drift by 5–50 metres indoors. Move the pin closer to your building or step outside for a better fix.
What if I don't allow location access?
You will see an approximate city, region and postal area based on your internet connection (IP address), clearly labelled as approximate. An IP address can't reveal a street address, so for your exact address you need to allow location access or type a nearby place.
Is this my legal or mailing address?
Not necessarily. This tool shows the address of the place you are standing. Your mailing address is whatever your postal service delivers to, which may use a different town name, a PO box or a unit number. Check official mail or your postal service's address lookup before using it on forms.
Do you store my address or location?
No. Your GPS position is used in your browser and sent only to our geocoder to look up the nearest address. We do not store or log your location or address.
How do I find my address on my phone?
Open this page on your phone and tap Allow. On iPhone you can also open Apple Maps, tap the blue dot and read the address; on Android open Google Maps, tap the blue dot and swipe up. This page works the same on any phone or computer without installing an app.
