Q: Why does the dataset contain over 132,000 records for a small country?

This is a point-address database, not just a list of postal codes.
The dataset lists every specific deliverable address in Iceland, including the house number (e.g., "Bæjarlind 8", "Dalsbraut 1K"). This explains the high record count relative to the population size and allows for precise address validation.

Q: How are special Icelandic characters handled?

Icelandic uses unique characters such as Þ, þ, Ð, ð, Æ, æ, Ö, ö.
The files are encoded in UTF-8-SIG. It is absolutely critical that you import this data using UTF-8 encoding to ensure these characters display correctly.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Iceland uses a 3-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 101, 201, 600).
Codes generally range from 100 to 900. Lower numbers (1xx) typically indicate the Capital Region (Höfuðborgarsvæðið).

Q: What is the difference between 'region' and 'municipality'?

The dataset includes two levels of administrative division:
· Region: One of the 8 traditional regions of Iceland (e.g., "Höfuðborgarsvæðið", "Norðurland eystra"), primarily used for statistical and postal sorting purposes.
· Municipality: The local government unit (e.g., "Reykjavík", "Kópavogur", "Akureyri").

Q: What file formats are included in the delivery?

The package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. Given the specific characters involved, the Excel format is often the safest way to view the data immediately without configuration.

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?
