ISO 3166-2:CD is the entry in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (whose ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is CD).
Currently 1 city and 10 provinces are assigned codes.[note 1] Each code starts with CD-, followed by two letters.
