The address lookup component allows users to quickly find and select an address by typing part of the address or postcode into a search field. As the user types, a list of matching addresses appears in a dropdown, from which the correct option can be chosen. This approach reduces the need for users to enter full address details manually and helps avoid errors from incomplete or illegible entries.

The component also includes a fallback option to “Enter address manually,” ensuring users can provide an address if it is not available in the lookup results or if they prefer to enter it directly. This dual approach balances efficiency with inclusivity.

The design is based on established patterns such as the Royal Mail’s address lookup service. Visual examples show the step-by-step interaction: entering partial information, selecting a suggested address, and displaying the completed address in the field.

No accessibility testing has yet been carried out on the component, and the API provider for the address lookup has not been chosen. These will be explored before moving into private beta.
