Convert an old address to the new one

Type freely or pick from the lists. The answer gives the new address, administrative codes and the legal basis of the merger.

What the converter does

  • Understands natural typing

    Reads addresses without diacritics, abbreviations (p., q., tp, hcm), a missing district or small typos.

  • Handles split communes

    When an old unit was split between several new ones, all candidates are listed so you can pick by street.

  • Official lists

    Checked against the Statistics Office conversion table and the merger resolutions; returns the new official codes.

  • Keeps house number and street

    Only the commune and province change; the house number and street you type stay in the new address.
