Why is building an Administrative Divisions Database complex?

The complexity arises from inconsistent global standards, frequent boundary changes, non-uniform naming conventions (e.g., “suburb” in Australia vs. “county” in the US), and variations in administrative levels across countries. Integrating and harmonizing data from multiple sources requires advanced normalization, versioning, and geospatial validation techniques.

How does GeoPostcodes solve the problem for you?

Our standardized database overcomes the complexity of different administrative division
systems worldwide. Our database follows a unified structure that you can integrate
seamlessly into your system or platform of choice without needing to become an expert in

Our location dataset for Czechia

Czechia ZIP Codes

Czechia uses a “PSČ” system. The postal code format is 999 99, which is a five-digit numeric format with a space separating the third and fourth digits. This means it uses only numbers. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Czechia has 2,678 postal codes covering 6,869 regions and 14,880 towns. This format is similar to numeric US ZIP codes as both are numeric, but US ZIP codes are five digits long and typically do not have a space in the middle.
