ACommunity Identification Number (also known as anOfficial Municipality Key,Official Municipality Characteristic Number orMunicipality Code Number) is a number sequence for the identification of politically independentmunicipalities orunincorporated areas in Germany. Other classifications for the identification of areas includepostal codes,NUTS codes orFIPS codes.
InGermany the Official Municipality Key servesstatistical purposes and is issued by the statistics offices of individual Germanstates. The municipality key is to be indicated in instances such as changing residence on the notice of departure or registration documents. This is done at the registration office in every town'scity hall.
The municipality key consists of eight digits, which are generated as follows: Thefirst two digits designate the individual German state. Thethird digit designates the government district (in areas without government districts a zero is used instead). Thefourth and fifth digits designate the number of the urban area (in a district-free city) or the district (in a city with districts). Thesixth, seventh, and eighth digits indicate the municipality or the number of the unincorporated area.

Akommunkod (municipal code) is a numerical code given to allSwedishmunicipalities by the Swedish tax authorities. The code consists of four digits, the first two indicating whichcounty the municipality is situated in, and the last two specific for the municipality.
The code system was introduced with the municipal reform of 1952. There were three different categories of municipalities at the time, which affected the number that they were allocated. Those withstad-status (cities) were given codes ending in 80 to 99, smaller towns (köping) 60 to 79 andrural municipalities 01 to 59. The county seats were allocated codes ending in 80.
As part of the reform in the early 1970s, the categorization of municipalities was abolished, but the code was in most cases preserved. When several municipalities were merged, the code for the biggest municipality was kept.
Usually known as the municipal code orPSGC code, the number comprises nine digits rrppmmbbb, for which rr = region code, pp = province code,mm = city / municipality code, bbb = barangay code.
For example, the municipality ofUbay, Bohol has a code of 071246000 meaning region 07 (Central Visayas), province 12 (Bohol), municipality 46 (Ubay) with barangay code of zero signifying "not at this level."Bongbong, one of its constituent barangays, has a code of 071246007.
The province code is unique and is independent of the region code. All PSGCs, are therefore, unique.
