Address Registration

The Shetland Islands Council are responsible for registering addresses for single and multiple housing schemes, new builds, existing builds, change of name and NYB (not yet built) properties.

To register an address please complete the form below and include a location/site plan:

Address Registration Form: Address Registration Form

Please submit your request to us at address.registration@shetland.gov.uk

The Planning application reference or Building Warrant number should be obtainable via our Planning and Building Standards search page. https://pa.shetland.gov.uk/online-applications/

Information on obtaining maps is available on the planning application forms page.

The Address Registration process can take approximately 14 days from day of submission. The Royal Mail will add your new/amended details on to its database once we have confirmed the process is complete. However, please be aware that it may take other companies longer to update their own address databases.

If you are registering a new street then this process will take longer as the relevant Community Council will need to be notified along with the National Street Gazetteer.

You can check if your address has been successfully registered with the Royal Mail on the following link: http://www.royalmail.com/find-a-postcode
