Frequently asked questions
Is Washington DC included?
Yes, as District of Columbia (DC). Untick nothing — it is part of the default list because it has its own addresses and tax rules.
How do I add Puerto Rico and other territories?
Tick Include territories to add Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Can I get the list in another language?
Yes. Country, language, currency, month and weekday names come from your browser’s built-in translations — pick the label language and the whole list is translated and sorted for it.

An HTML
Can I install US States Dropdown as a web app and use it offline?
Yes. US States Dropdown is an installable web app (PWA) — installed from your browser, not downloaded from an app store. Click Install app at the top of this page in Chrome or Edge (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS) or on Android, use Share → Add to Home Screen on iPhone and iPad, or File → Add to Dock in Safari 17+ on a Mac. It then opens in its own window with its own icon, and because it runs entirely in your browser it keeps working offline. Firefox on desktop can’t install web apps. How installing works.
