Belarus

Q: What language and script is the data in?

The dataset is provided in Russian/Belarusian using the Cyrillic script (e.g., "Минская", "улица Мира"). This matches the official format used by Belpochta (Belarusian Post). While the data itself is in Cyrillic, we include a detailed User Guide (in English) with your purchase that explains every column and field meaning.

Q: How are house numbers formatted in this dataset?

House numbers are grouped by street and postal code. The Номер дома (House Number) column typically contains a comma-separated list of building numbers (e.g., "17, 19, 42, 44"). This means one row represents a specific street segment assigned to a single postal code.

Q: What does the value "ВСЕ" mean in the House Number column?

"ВСЕ" is the Russian word for "ALL". When you see this value, it means the postal code applies to the entire street, regardless of the house number.

Q: Will the Cyrillic characters display correctly in my system?

Yes, provided you use the correct encoding. All files are encoded in UTF-8. We strictly recommend opening the CSV/Text files using UTF-8 encoding to ensure characters like 'ж', 'ч', 'ш' display correctly. If you see gibberish, please check your text editor's encoding settings.

Q: What is the format of a Belarusian postal code?

Belarus uses a 6-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 220002, 222852). This code identifies the specific delivery post office.

Q: What file formats will I receive?

The download package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. You can easily import these into SQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) or use them directly in Excel.

Q: Is this a monthly subscription?

No. This is a one-time purchase. You pay once and receive a perpetual license to use the data for your internal business needs without any recurring fees.

Q: Can I get a refund if I can't read the Cyrillic data?

No. As stated in our policy, all sales of digital downloadable products are final and non-refundable. Please download the Free Sample available on this page before purchasing to ensure you are comfortable working with the Cyrillic dataset and the house number list format.
