Firstly Welcome to CI Xeonross.

The problem with getting postal code information (thats zip codes, post codes, zonal codes), is it is usually owned by the mail service. In the United States thats the USPS, and in the UK its the Royal Mail.

In the UK we have the ability to pay for various ways to access this data, we can get the full PAF file for a few £k's or you can pay a 3rd party, a few pennies for every lookup you want to do.

The US is different and im sure there is a web service for US info. It depends how much info you want.

For city and state look at
