Amazon Location Service Updates for Vietnam’s New Administrative Boundaries

Amazon Location Service has updated its mapping data to reflect Vietnam’s recent administrative reorganization, which consolidated the country’s provinces from 63 to 34 administrative units. This update enables customers in Vietnam to seamlessly align their operations with the new administrative structure that took effect July 1, 2025.

The update includes changes to Vietnam’s administrative boundaries, names, and hierarchical structure across all levels. The refresh incorporates the new structure of 34 provincial-level administrative units, consisting of 28 provinces and 6 centrally managed cities, along with consolidated commune-level administrative boundaries from 10,310 to 3,321 units. Place names and administrative components in Points of Interest (POI) have been updated while preserving street-level address accuracy.

This update supports use cases across industries such as logistics, e-commerce, and public services where accurate administrative boundary data is essential for operations like delivery zone planning, service area management, and address validation. The updated data is automatically available to customers querying Vietnam address data through Amazon Location Service.
