About this dataset
Postal Codes Dataset for Moldova, Republic of (MD)
This dataset lists Moldovan postal codes (format MD-NNNN) with place names, administrative units and coordinates, with nearly all ISO 3166-2:MD units represented. Transnistria (a breakaway region with limited international recognition) is consolidated into the single ISO unit MD-SN.
Column definitions, row count, size and last-updated date are in datapackage.yaml.
Data Sources
- Postal codes, place names, administrative divisions and coordinates: © GeoNames postal code export for Moldova, CC BY 4.0.
Changes made to the source data: administrative unit codes (admin_code1) derived as ISO 3166-2:MD by a name-based crosswalk of GeoNames' labels, replacing GeoNames' own codes; typo variants and municipality labels of the same unit consolidated under one clean display name; towns labelled "Tr." mapped to the single Transnistria unit MD-SN.
Not endorsed by, or affiliated with, GeoNames.

Known limitations
- Basarabeasca (MD-BS) has no rows in the source, a gap in the underlying gazetteer; it is disclosed, not backfilled with an invented row.
- One locality ("Lazo") could not be confidently matched to an ISO unit and has
admin_code1blank rather than guessed. - GeoNames' own administrative labels were messy: real district names mixed with typo variants of the same district ("Cantrmir" for Cantemir, "Uhnheni" for Ungheni), municipality labels ("Mun.Balti", "Mun.Chisinau") and individually named Transnistrian towns suffixed "Tr." (Bender, Camenca, Grigoriopol, Ribnita, Slobozia, Tiraspol, and part of Dubasari) with no ISO code of their own. They were mapped to a crosswalk of the ISO units (districts, cities, Gagauzia and Transnistria as MD-SN).
- Bender has its own ISO code (MD-BD), but the source labels it "Bender Tr." and the city is under de facto Transnistrian control, so it is mapped to MD-SN to reflect administrative reality over the de jure code. Dubasari raion is split in the source between "Dubasari Cr." (government-controlled, mapped to MD-DU) and "Dubasari Tr." (Transnistrian-controlled, mapped to MD-SN), which reflects that raion's actual partition.
alternative_city_nameis empty.
