    Our "official" address, the one that pops up when you have to enter details online and with most governmental processes, has a name and then the number of the street.
    Example:
    "Fairfield"
    45 Confused St
    Town Name 1234

    Im wondering where or who to contact to change this name (we inherited it when buying the property) or indeed to delete it altogether?

    Ive searched the internet plenty but keep getting results for how to change your name (as opposed to the property name) on the title but thats not what we want.

    Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

    There is no registration of property names (as far as I know). It sounds like the situation where it has been copied from somewhere and then others have copied that. You would have to instruct the record keepers to change it - rp data, google etc.

    tried that once before and google needed proof from an "authority".

    Im happy with just the number.
    But, each time we register for something it comes up with this name before the number and you have to use it or they wont talk to you.

    Seems like its part of the official address. Its obviously a farm name as its on only 8.5ac so not really any significance or advantage in having it. Just dont want it, of if we have to have a name would rather something else.
    Must be somewhere to change it across the board?

    I just googled and found this

    G-NAF is produced by PSMA Australia Limited (PSMA), an unlisted public company formed by the nine governments of Australia to collate and standardise, format and aggregate location data from each of the jurisdictions into authoritative location based national datasets.
