Setting Up States, Provinces, and Counties
On the States/Provinces/Counties page at Setup > Company > States/Provinces/Counties, you can:
-
See lists of system-provided states and provinces for supported countries
-
Add and edit your own custom states, provinces, and counties
-
Set up custom lists of states, provinces, and counties for supported countries
-
Print lists of states, provinces, and counties you can use in NetSuite records
To see available states, provinces, and counties, expand Filters and select a country from the list. You'll see only countries that have system-provided or custom states, provinces, or counties.

System names don't have an Edit link because you can't change system states and provinces. Custom states, provinces, and counties that you've added do have an Edit link, so you can click Edit to make changes.
To add a state, province, or county to used on NetSuite records, click New. On the New State/Province/County page, select a country, enter the full name and 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 and click Print.
You can set up lists for supported countries that don't have system-provided states, provinces, or counties.
