About this dataset

Côte d'Ivoire (CI) — internal licensing notes

Source research, 2026-09-03 — structural fit check, not a licensing question

Confirmed: Côte d'Ivoire has no postal code system. Structural non-fit for this product line, same conclusion as Bolivia and Curaçao.

What was checked

GeoNames: no export exists — download.geonames.org/export/zip/CI.zip returns a plain 404. The currently-live ci/ci.csv on R2 (159 bytes) is a header-only placeholder, consistent with nothing to fetch.
Wikipedia's own "List of postal codes" (the canonical cross-country reference), checked directly 2026-09-03: Côte d'Ivoire is listed explicitly as "no codes" under its format column.
Web search corroborates: mixed, low-authority claims about a single Abidjan-area code ("99326") circulate on social media and community sites, contradicted by others, with no single traceable authoritative source — the same shape as Uganda's untrustworthy aggregator figures. La Poste de Côte d'Ivoire (the national operator) has no published national postal-code list.

Verdict (superseded below)

Permanent close-out as a PAID postal-codes product. Do not re-open that question without a genuine change in Côte d'Ivoire's postal infrastructure.

Revised 2026-09-04 — issued free as a locality directory, not closed entirely

Human decision: issue what CAN be known (district + locality + coordinates) as a free dataset, postal_code permanently empty.

Source: GeoNames' MAIN gazetteer dump (download.geonames.org/export/dump/CI.zip), filtered to feature class P (populated places). Licence CC BY 4.0.

admin_code1 derived to ISO 3166-2:CI via a verified name crosswalk (14 units — 12 districts + 2 autonomous districts, effective since 2015-11-27, confirmed against Wikipedia's ISO_3166-2:CI page 2026-09-04). GeoNames' own admin1 reference table already reflects this current 14-district structure, not the pre-2015 regions.
