Collection and usage attributes

Guide for use:Help on this term

A state or province may be described as legislated areas, geographic areas and protectorates with some level of self-government. Collecting organisations may have compiled this data using validated data for some countries, but not hold a complete list for all countries. Some datasets will have multiple terms offered; for example, 'Essex, England', whereby the most local name ('Essex') should be used in preference to a higher grouped form ('England').

An English-language form is acceptable; for example, 'Bavaria' for 'Freistaat Bayern'.  International country codes identified by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and in METeOR (see Person—country of birth, code (SACC 2011) NNNN) may also be used, but should include synonyms for commonly misunderstood names of countries such as The Netherlands= Holland and Deutschland= Germany.

Collection methods:Help on this term

The county, territory, province or state name should be collected as stated on a birth certificate, parish record or official document.
