Malta Regions: Local Government and Official Boundaries
Malta's regional structure is a local-government grouping, while other sources may use statistical districts or different map boundaries. To identify a locality's current region, use the Office of the Address Registrar's locality record and check the relevant regional-council information for governance context.

Check a Malta region correctly
- Search the official Localities record for the locality name.
- Read the English and Maltese region labels returned for that locality.
- Use a regional-council source for governance questions, not a tourism map.
- Check whether the task actually needs a statistical district instead of a local-government region.
