ISO 3166-2:LV

ISO 3166-2:LV is the entry for Latvia 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 Latvia, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for 36 municipalities and 7 state cities. The seven state cities have special status equal to the municipalities.

Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is LV, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Latvia. The second part is either of the following:

  • three digits: municipalities
  • three letters: state cities

Current codes

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

Subdivision names are sorted in Latvian alphabetical order: a, ā, b-c, č, d-e, ē, f-g, ģ, h-i, ī, j-k, ķ, l, ļ, m-n, ņ, o-s, š, t-u, ū, v-z, ž.
