Rural Address Property Identification numbers

We are responsible for maintaining the Rural Address Property Identification (RAPID) system throughout the Waikato district.

These red reflectorised numbers (on a white background) denote the distance in 0.01 increments of a kilometre from the start of a road to the dwelling driveway, and enable emergency and postal services to locate a house quickly.

We issue a number and either arrange for it to be affixed in a visible location by the entranceway, or post it directly to the owner for fixing.

For all rapid number enquiries or if you wish to order a new or replacement rapid number, please contact us.
