Setting Up States, Provinces, and Counties
At Setup > Company > States/Provinces/Counties, you can:
-
View lists of system-provided states and provinces for supported countries
-
Add and edit custom states, provinces, and counties
-
Set up lists of custom states, provinces, and counties for supported countries
-
Print lists of states, provinces, and counties available for use in NetSuite records
To view a list of available states, provinces, and counties, expand the Filters and select a country from the Country list. Only countries with lists of system-provided or custom (or both) states, provinces, or counties are available for selection.

System names do not have Edit, because system states and provinces are not editable. Custom states, provinces, and counties that you have added do have an Edit link. You can click Edit to make changes.
To add a state, province, or county to be used on NetSuite records, click the New button. On the New State/Province/County page, select a country from the list, enter a full name and a short name (abbreviation) for the state, province, or county you want to add, and click Save.
To print a list of states, provinces, and counties for a country, select the country from the list and click the Print button.
You can set up lists for supported countries that do not have system-provided states, provinces, and counties.
