IP Country Database
Overview
Ever wonder what country a specific IP address comes from? Our IP to Country Database which is a part of our standard tier, helps you figure that out for any IPv4 or IPv6 address. We've packed it with all the details you'd want, not just the country name, but ISO codes, the continent, capital, dialing codes, currencies, languages, and TLDs. It even supports multiple languages, so you can get localized results right away, no extra steps needed.
We're pretty committed to having the most up-to-date information, which is why our databases are updated daily so that you're always working with the latest changes. We also make sure that the files are super light and easy to use. You can literally just drop them into your systems without a fuss.
You'll find everything you need to know in our documentation. We walk you through what's in the archives, the file structure, how to verify your downloads before you import them, just to be safe, and we’ve also included a few examples.

The diagram below illustrates the relationships between the various files included in the CSV database package. It shows how the main CSV file connects to reference tables for countries, states, districts, and cities, ensuring consistent and accurate geolocation data across different regions and languages.
File Format & Encoding
All IP to Country CSV datasets are provided in UTF-8 encoding, comma-separated, and compressed with Gzip (.csv.gz). Each file includes a header row listing the field names for clarity and consistency.
Field values are unquoted by default, with quotes applied only in the following cases:
- Line breaks within text fields.
- Commas inside a value (e.g., addresses).
- Lists of values (e.g., languages).
- Spaces that may be auto-quoted by export tools.
MMDB Database Documentation
1. Overview
The MMDB version of our IP to Country is delivered as a ZIP archive that includes a single MMDB file with all geolocation data (including multilingual place fields), a README file, and a checksum file. It's optimized for fast lookups in applications and services, making it ideal for real-time queries and direct integration into your systems.
2. Archive Content
After downloading and extracting the IP to Country MMDB database archive, you'll find the following files (with their types noted):
db-ip-country.mmdbCountry-level geolocation database with IP ranges, multilingual country names, codes, capital, currency, languages, and related metadata.
- File Size: 20.21 MB
- Entries: 29.8M

}Database Integrity & Authenticity Verification
There are two methods of verifying the integrity and authenticity of our Database:
1. Using the Signature File (Recommended)
IPGeolocation.io signs every database release to ensure its authenticity and integrity. This allows customers to verify that a downloaded IP to Country database file originates directly from IPGeolocation.io and has not been altered, corrupted, or tampered with during transfer or storage.
Each database update includes a corresponding signature file, generated using our private signing key. Customers can validate the database using the provided public verification key. To verify a database file, you need:
- Database file (the downloaded archive)
- Signature file (the matching signature for that archive)
- Public key (public-key.pem)
These files are available via official IPGeolocation.io download endpoints and are also shared in database update notifications.
2. Using the Checksum File (Legacy)
Each database archive includes a checksum.txt file containing the SHA-256 checksums for the files packaged in the archive. You can use this file to validate that the extracted contents are complete and unchanged.
Data Format & Constraints
- All fields defined in the schema are always present in the IP to Country MMDB response.
- Fields may contain empty strings (""), but never null, so null checks are not required.
- Place names such as countries, states, districts, and cities are available in multiple translations.
- All text values are encoded in UTF-8.
- Field names and response structure remain stable across updates for backward compatibility.
Database Updates & Delivery
When you subscribe to our IP to Country database, we'll send you static download links. These links never change, so you can use them both for your initial download and for all future updates. You will receive:
- Database Archive URL : downloads the latest release of your subscribed database (CSV, MMDB or requested formats).
- Signature File URL : downloads the matching signature file for the latest release (used for authenticity verification).
- Public Key URL : downloads the public verification key (used with the signature file).
- Status Endpoint URL : returns the database's most recent update timestamp.
Our databases are refreshed daily and weekly, ensuring you always have access to the most current data. Each time your subscribed dataset is updated, you'll also receive an email notification so you don't miss a release.
For automated workflows, you can check our status endpoint to see the last update timestamp. When the date changes, simply re-fetch the archive using your static download URL to pull the latest version into your system.
