About this dataset

Postal Codes Dataset for Angola (AO)

Angola has no postal code system. This dataset lists the municipalities across all provinces, per Lei n.º 14/24 (in force 2025-01-01) — an administrative-divisions-only dataset. postal_code is empty on every row; this is not an oversight.

Column definitions, row count, size and last-updated date are in datapackage.yaml.

Data Sources

  • Province and municipality names: Lei n.º 14/24, de 5 de Setembro (Lei da Divisão Político-Administrativa), Angola's own administrative-division law, as published in the Diário da República (text). Angola's copyright law (Lei n.º 15/14, Article 24.º) excludes laws and administrative/judicial decisions from copyright protection, so this law carries no copyright claim in Angola, and neither do the facts extracted from it. No attribution or share-alike condition attaches.

Changes made to the source data: each province's municipalities were extracted from the law's composition articles; admin_code1 is the ISO 3166-2:AO code without the AO- prefix.

This dataset is distributed free, per this project's policy that any dataset with no postal codes ships free regardless of how permissive its underlying licence is.

Known limitations

  • ISO 3166-2:AO codes are not yet assigned for some of the provinces created or split by Lei 14/24 (Icolo e Bengo, Cuando, Cubango, Moxico Leste), so admin_code1 is empty on those rows rather than invented.
  • A commune (sub-municipality) tier exists nationally but is not built into this release.

Usage

The dataset files are available in CSV format and can be accessed and downloaded using the links provided in datapackage.yaml.
