Abstract: brmunid standardizes geocodes for Brazilian municipalities. Before 2006 the Brazilian government used to assign a geocode with an additional digit for error detection. In 2006 the system was abandoned and geocodes have only 6 digits ever since. When applied, the program creates a new variable with standardizes geocodes with only six digits. When the option sixtoseven is selected the program performs the opposite procedure and adds the extra digit.
