Our location dataset for Myanmar

Explore our comprehensive collection of Myanmar ZIP code and administrative data products, designed to meet all your mapping and location intelligence needs.

Myanmar ZIP Codes

Myanmar uses a “Postal code” system, which is a seven-digit numeric format like 9999999, with no letters or separators. This means it uses only numbers, unlike US ZIP codes which are also numeric. However, US ZIP codes are five digits long compared to Myanmar’s seven. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Myanmar has 17,008 postal codes covering 14,713 regions and 68,491 towns.

Myanmar ZIP & Administrative boundaries

Myanmar administrative landscape often follows inconsistent regional models and irregular public sources, making it difficult to maintain reliable boundaries. Our standardized postal and administrative boundary data resolves these gaps to ensure complete, coherent geographic coverage.

Myanmar Administrative Divisions

GeoPostcodes provides a standardized reference for Myanmar’s address structure, ensuring consistent, accurate, and globally aligned formatting across your systems. The dataset captures the official address elements required by the national postal operator and maps them into our unified global schema.
