Subdivisions of Colombia: departments and every municipality
Colombia is divided into 32 departments and the Capital District of Bogotá, and below them into municipalities. The list gives every unit of the second level in Spanish, department by department: the municipios, the corregimientos departamentales of the Amazon departments and the 20 localidades of Bogotá. A second column sets each name against the national register of the statistics office, DANE, where the official form or status differs.

How the Colombian list names its units
Every department appears under its full Spanish title, and the small word after Departamento changes with the name. Departamento de Antioquia and Departamento de Boyacá take de; Departamento del Cauca, del Huila and del Valle del Cauca take del, the fusion of de with the article el. San Andrés stands apart as Departamento Archipiélago de San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina, and Bogotá is no department at all but the Distrito Capital.
The second level holds three kinds of unit. Almost all rows are municipios. Amazonas, Guainía and Vaupés, with one row in Guaviare, also have corregimientos departamentales, areas outside any municipality that DANE's register now calls áreas no municipalizadas. Bogotá's 20 rows are localidades, the districts of the capital, from Antonio Nariño to Usme.
The list uses the short everyday names. Cali, Cúcuta, Buga and Mariquita are registered as Santiago de Cali, San José de Cúcuta, Guadalajara de Buga and San Sebastián de Mariquita, and Mompós appears in the register as Santa Cruz de Mompox. The right-hand column gives these official forms with their five-digit DIVIPOLA code, so a reader looking for either name finds the row.

Municipalities of Colombia by department
All 1143 rows: the 1125 units of the list and, marked as such, the 18 municipalities that DANE registers today but the list does not name. The right-hand column stays empty where list and register agree; otherwise it gives the official name and code, the status área no municipalizada, or the localidad's official form.

04 · Changes
What changed in the departments and municipalities
At the first level the map is stable. ISO 3166-2:CO has kept the same 33 units through every recorded change: it renamed the name of the Capital District's entry in 2004 and in 2016 added the short local forms Distrito Capital, San Andrés and Valle next to the full names.
Below the departments the register has grown. DANE's DIVIPOLA lists 1,103 municipalities, Bogotá included, together with the island of San Andrés and 18 áreas no municipalizadas. Eighteen of those municipalities are not in the list, five of them in Chocó: Carmen del Darién, Cértegui, Medio San Juan, Nuevo Belén de Bajirá and Río Iró. Córdoba has two more, San José de Uré and Tuchín, Magdalena three, Nueva Granada, Santa Bárbara de Pinto and Zapayán, and Sucre two, Coveñas and El Roble. Norosí in Bolívar, Guachené and Sucre in Cauca, Albania in La Guajira and Nariño in the department of the same name complete the count.
Guainía shows the newest change. Its capital, called Puerto Inírida in the list, is registered as Inírida, and Barrancominas now stands beside it as a second municipality. The register also writes several names differently from the list. Apulo in Cundinamarca appears in the list as Rafael Reyes, the name the municipality carried from 1950 until a decree of 23 October 1975 restored the old one, and Contratación in Santander appears as Contratacón.
