# UK local authority register code (`gb_local_authority_code`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Three-letter code of a local authority in the local authority registers of the UK Government Digital Service for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The codes follow the second part of the ISO 3166-2:GB subdivision codes where one exists. ORG-ID.guide lists it under GB-LAE, GB-LANI, GB-LAS and GB-PLA; with that prefix an identifier reads GB-LAE-WOT.
