❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Are these generated Costa Rican addresses real?
No. They are randomly generated based on real geographic rules and landmarks. While format-valid and authentic, they do not represent real residents' locations.

Yes. Phone numbers are 8 digits long without regional area codes. Landlines start with 2, and mobile lines start with 6, 7, or 8, corresponding strictly to Costa Rican telecom rules under prefix +506.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. The generator is a static web application. All calculations, display, saving, and downloading happen entirely on your computer.

Do the postal codes match the provinces?
Yes. The generated 5-digit postal codes correspond strictly to the province number prefixes (e.g. 1 for San José), ensuring correct mapping.
What language is used for the address details?
All address details, including recipient names, street designations, provinces, and districts, are generated in Spanish, Costa Rica's official language.
Can I generate addresses for other countries?
