接受的答案反映了皇家邮政给出的规则，尽管正则表达式中有一个拼写错误。这个错字似乎在gov.uk网站上也有(就像在XML存档页面中一样)。

在格式A9A 9AA中，规则允许在第三个位置出现P字符，而正则表达式不允许这样。正确的正则表达式应该是:

(GIR 0AA)|((([A-Z-[QVX]][0-9][0-9]?)|(([A-Z-[QVX]][A-Z-[IJZ]][0-9][0-9]?)|(([A-Z-[QVX]][0-9][A-HJKPSTUW])|([A-Z-[QVX]][A-Z-[IJZ]][0-9][ABEHMNPRVWXY])))) [0-9][A-Z-[CIKMOV]]{2}) 

将其缩短为以下正则表达式(使用Perl/Ruby语法):

(GIR 0AA)|([A-PR-UWYZ](([0-9]([0-9A-HJKPSTUW])?)|([A-HK-Y][0-9]([0-9ABEHMNPRVWXY])?))\s?[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2})

它还在第一个和第二个块之间包含一个可选的空格。

下面的方法将检查邮政编码并提供完整的信息

const isValidUKPostcode = postcode => {
    try {
        postcode = postcode.replace(/\s/g, "");
        const fromat = postcode
            .toUpperCase()
            .match(/^([A-Z]{1,2}\d{1,2}[A-Z]?)\s*(\d[A-Z]{2})$/);
        const finalValue = `${fromat[1]} ${fromat[2]}`;
        const regex = /^([Gg][Ii][Rr] 0[Aa]{2})|((([A-Za-z][0-9]{1,2})|(([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9]{1,2})|(([AZa-z][0-9][A-Za-z])|([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9]?[A-Za-z]))))[0-9][A-Za-z]{2})$/i;
        return {
            isValid: regex.test(postcode),
            formatedPostCode: finalValue,
            error: false,
            message: 'It is a valid postcode'
        };
    } catch (error) {
        return { error: true , message: 'Invalid postcode'};
    }
};

console.log(isValidUKPostcode('GU348RR'))
{isValid: true, formattedPostcode: "GU34 8RR", error: false, message: "It is a valid postcode"}

console.log(isValidUKPostcode('sdasd4746asd'))
{error: true, message: "Invalid postcode!"}

valid_postcode('787898523')
result => {error: true, message: "Invalid postcode"}

我们得到了一个说明:

UK postcodes must be in one of the following forms (with one exception, see below): 
    § A9 9AA 
    § A99 9AA
    § AA9 9AA
    § AA99 9AA
    § A9A 9AA
    § AA9A 9AA
where A represents an alphabetic character and 9 represents a numeric character.
Additional rules apply to alphabetic characters, as follows:
    § The character in position 1 may not be Q, V or X
    § The character in position 2 may not be I, J or Z
    § The character in position 3 may not be I, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, V, X, Y or Z
    § The character in position 4 may not be C, D, F, G, I, J, K, L, O, Q, S, T, U or Z
    § The characters in the rightmost two positions may not be C, I, K, M, O or V
The one exception that does not follow these general rules is the postcode "GIR 0AA", which is a special valid postcode.

我们想出了这个:

/^([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y0-9](?:[A-HJKS-UW0-9][ABEHMNPRV-Y0-9]?)?\s*[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}|GIR\s*0AA)$/i

但是注意-这允许组之间有任意数量的空格。

我有英国邮政编码验证的正则表达式。

这是适用于所有类型的邮政编码，无论是内部或外部

^((([A-PR-UWYZ][0-9])|([A-PR-UWYZ][0-9][0-9])|([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y][0-9])|([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y][0-9][0-9])|([A-PR-UWYZ][0-9][A-HJKSTUW])|([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y][0-9][ABEHMNPRVWXY]))) || ^((GIR)[ ]?(0AA))$|^(([A-PR-UWYZ][0-9])[ ]?([0-9][ABD-HJLNPQ-UW-Z]{0,2}))$|^(([A-PR-UWYZ][0-9][0-9])[ ]?([0-9][ABD-HJLNPQ-UW-Z]{0,2}))$|^(([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y0-9][0-9])[ ]?([0-9][ABD-HJLNPQ-UW-Z]{0,2}))$|^(([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y0-9][0-9][0-9])[ ]?([0-9][ABD-HJLNPQ-UW-Z]{0,2}))$|^(([A-PR-UWYZ][0-9][A-HJKS-UW0-9])[ ]?([0-9][ABD-HJLNPQ-UW-Z]{0,2}))$|^(([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y0-9][0-9][ABEHMNPRVWXY0-9])[ ]?([0-9][ABD-HJLNPQ-UW-Z]{0,2}))$

这适用于所有类型的格式。

例子:

Ab10 -------------------->仅为外部邮政编码 A1 1 aa ------------------> (内部和外部)邮政编码的组合 WC2A --------------------> 外

我从一个XML文档中窃取了这个，它似乎涵盖了没有硬编码的GIRO的所有情况:

%r{[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9R][0-9A-Z]? [0-9][A-Z]{2}}i

(Ruby语法忽略大小写)

我一直在寻找一个英国邮政编码正则表达式的最后一天左右，无意中发现了这个线程。我尝试了上面的大部分建议，但没有一个对我有用，所以我想出了自己的正则表达式，据我所知，它捕获了截至1月13日的所有有效的英国邮政编码(根据皇家邮政的最新文献)。

The regex and some simple postcode checking PHP code is posted below. NOTE:- It allows for lower or uppercase postcodes and the GIR 0AA anomaly but to deal with the, more than likely, presence of a space in the middle of an entered postcode it also makes use of a simple str_replace to remove the space before testing against the regex. Any discrepancies beyond that and the Royal Mail themselves don't even mention them in their literature (see http://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/docs/pdf/programmers_guide_edition_7_v5.pdf and start reading from page 17)!

注意:在皇家邮政自己的文献中(链接以上)，第3和第4位的位置略有模糊，如果这些字符是字母，则例外。我直接联系了皇家邮政，用他们自己的话说，“AANA NAA格式的出境代码的第4个位置的信件没有例外，而第3个位置的例外只适用于ANA NAA格式的出境代码的最后一个字母。”直接从马嘴里说出来的!

<?php

    $postcoderegex = '/^([g][i][r][0][a][a])$|^((([a-pr-uwyz]{1}([0]|[1-9]\d?))|([a-pr-uwyz]{1}[a-hk-y]{1}([0]|[1-9]\d?))|([a-pr-uwyz]{1}[1-9][a-hjkps-uw]{1})|([a-pr-uwyz]{1}[a-hk-y]{1}[1-9][a-z]{1}))(\d[abd-hjlnp-uw-z]{2})?)$/i';

    $postcode2check = str_replace(' ','',$postcode2check);

    if (preg_match($postcoderegex, $postcode2check)) {

        echo "$postcode2check is a valid postcode<br>";

    } else {

        echo "$postcode2check is not a valid postcode<br>";

    }

?>

我希望它能帮助其他遇到这条线索寻找解决方案的人。
