ISO 3166-2:DO

ISO 3166-2:DO is the entry for the Dominican Republic in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.

Currently for the Dominican Republic, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for 10 regions, 31 provinces and 1 district. The Distrito Nacional contains the capital of the country Santo Domingo and has special status equal to the provinces.

Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is DO, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the Dominican Republic. The second part is two digits:

01: district
02–27: provinces as of late 1970s
28–30: provinces created in the 1980s and 1990s
31–32: provinces created in 2001 and 2002
33–42: regions

Current codes

Subdivision names are listed as in the ISO 3166-2 standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA).
