The latest version of MIMU Myanmar Place Codes (version 9.6, February 2025) includes updates on many villages across the country. These updates result from the MIMU village mapping exercise, which was carried out collaboratively with input from our field partner agencies. The most significant changes in this version are as follows:

• 44 new villages were added in 19 townships across 7 states/regions.
• 954 villages’ coordinates were newly added in 75 townships across 14 states/regions.
• 1,198 villages’ coordinates were modified in 21 townships across 5 states/regions.

Detailed information of these and earlier changes is available in PDF and Excel formats. The updated P-codes can be found on the MIMU website’s Place Codes page, along with a Pcode Submissions and Corrections Form through which to share corrections and information on new villages which may not be included in the MIMU Pcode listing.

MIMU PCoder has also been updated, providing users with several options including a selection among 4 dataset versions (9.6 or 9.5 or 9.4 or 9.2) and the flexibility to opt for place names in English or Myanmar (Unicode). You can use it to match PCode and place names as well as to get the coordinates of villages and towns along with their respective place codes and names. Guidelines in both Myanmar and English are now available. Users can also find the guideline video file on the MIMU PCode Webpage.

With this update, we can now map 53,857 villages out of recorded 66,657 villages in MIMU Database.
