Litva

Q: In what language are the data and documentation provided?

The dataset retains the official Lithuanian names and abbreviations (e.g., "Kauno apskritis", "Raseinių r. sav.") to ensure full compatibility with Lietuvos paštas (Lithuania Post) standards.
Important: The data contains Lithuanian specific characters (ą, č, ę, ė, į, š, ų, ū, ž). You must strictly use UTF-8 encoding when importing this data to avoid character corruption.

Q: Why does the dataset contain over 1 million records?

Unlike standard postal datasets that usually list only street names or ranges, the Lithuania dataset is a point-address level database.
The street column contains the full street address including the specific building number (e.g., "Bažnyčios g. 17"). Each distinct house number is listed as a separate record to ensure maximum delivery precision.

Q: What do the abbreviations "r. sav." and "sen." mean?

The dataset uses official administrative abbreviations that are critical for data mapping:
· r. sav. (rajono savivaldybė): Found in the municipality column, this stands for "District Municipality" (e.g., "Raseinių r. sav.").
· sen. (seniūnija): Found in the eldership column, this stands for "Eldership" (or Ward), which is a subdivision of a municipality.
· g. (gatvė): Commonly found in the street column, meaning "Street".

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy in the dataset?

The data follows a four-tier administrative structure:
1. County (apskritis): The top-level division (e.g., Kauno apskritis).
2. Municipality (savivaldybė): The primary unit of local government.
3. Eldership (seniūnija): A local subdivision within the municipality.
4. City (miestas): The specific town or settlement.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Lithuania uses a 5-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 60179). This code is found in the code column. While international mail often adds the prefix "LT-", this dataset provides the raw numeric code.

Q: What file formats are included in the delivery?

The package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. Given the large volume of records, we recommend using the CSV or TXT files for importing into your database systems.

Q: Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?

This is a one-time purchase. The license grants perpetual use for personal and internal business purposes.

Q: What is the refund policy?

Due to the digital nature of the product, all sales are final and non-refundable. We strongly recommend downloading the Free Sample before purchasing.
