# IP geolocation now covers more visitors at higher resolution By Steven Van · 2026-10-29 Enabled for all Vercel projects, the update gives postal codes for 90% of traffic, and VPN and hosting-provider visitors may now resolve elsewhere. Vercel's IP geolocation now returns city-level data for nearly all requests and postal-code data for 90% of traffic. The change comes from resolving visitor locations with finer network granularity, and it is enabled for all projects with no code or configuration changes. ## What changed Geolocation data is also refreshed more often, so locations keep up as IP ranges are reassigned and routing changes. The existing geolocation headers and the geolocation() helper in @vercel/functions return the same fields as before for Vercel Functions and Routing Middleware. ## Some visitors will resolve differently Anyone using geolocation for access controls, localization or compliance may see some visitors resolve to a different city or country. This is most common for traffic from VPNs, hosting providers and leased IP ranges. - **Physical termination location:** subnets announced from a hosting provider in a different country than their regional internet registry (RIR) record now resolve to the data center where the traffic actually terminates. - **Testing geo-dependent routes:** access rules should be verified against an IP's active network location rather than its static registry allocation. The [request headers documentation]() lists all available geolocation headers and fields. ![Vercel]() Vercel The platform for frontend developers — deploy, preview, and scale web apps and AI agents with zero config.
