Since the beginning of 2023, I have been unable to add or update certification information for Singapore releases. The error message is “Certification is not valid for the selected country”. There is no drop down list of options and so far I have been typing in the certification manually (based on publicly available information). Please look into this. Thank you.

Some updates for Australia's and New Zealand's certifications:
The Australian ratings should use a space for MA 15+, R 18+ and X 18+: https://www.classification.gov.au/classification-ratings/what-do-ratings-mean
New Zealand uses R13, R15, R16 and R18 instead of 13, 15, 16 and 18. And there's also RP13, RP16 and RP18: https://www.classificationoffice.govt.nz/classification-info/classification-labels/
Thanks in advance, Travis!
Edit: Also Italy uses 6+, 14+ and 18+, not VM14 and VM18: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_picture_content_rating_system#Italy
Edit: Spain also uses both A and Ai and 7 and 7i, not just Ai and 7i: https://i.imgur.com/UWxIiTt.png

Can certifications for Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Japan be added, as well?
Puerto Rico and USVI both use the same MPA rating system as the US (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17 and Not Rated) since they're US territories.
Japan uses G, PG12, R15+, and R18+: https://www.eirin.jp/english/008.html.

@travisbell I think some wires got crossed with my other request in the TV certification thread.
The movie certifications for Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands are correct but the "Descriptors" field appears when I shouldn't be given that option. The descriptors that appear (D, L, S, V, FV) are for TV certifications. The are no descriptors for movies.
The movie and TV certifications for both places should be a 1:1 copy of the US certifications.

Greece apparently uses the movie ratings K, K12, K15, K18 and not the ones currently available.
See this goverment document as an example: https://www.culture.gov.gr/DocLib/g_57267.doc
Also an example movie rated 18+: https://www.villagecinemas.gr/el/movie/?c=105579

A few more:
Hong Kong uses I, IIA, IIB, and III: https://www.ofnaa.gov.hk/en/services/film_division/film_classification/index.html
Macau uses A, B, C, and D: https://www.icm.gov.mo/en/CCE. Macau also has a certification for pornographic content but I'm unsure if it's literally the word "Pornography" or something else since the law they link to (Law no. 10/78/M) just mentions that the Assessment Committee of Performing Arts "may assign the pornographic classification to cinematographic shows" (poderá atribuir a classificação de pornográficos a espectáculos cinematográficos).
Latvia uses U, 7+, 12+, 16+, 18+: https://www.nkc.gov.lv/en/media/87/download?attachment (see page 3)
Luxembourg uses EA, 6, 12, 16, and 18: https://www.alia.lu/en/cinema. I checked the document linked under "Document(s) to download" and some films from 2009-2016 had either "avert," "avertissement," or "avec avertis" appended to the certification but it doesn't say what the warning was and I can’t find anything about warnings on the website.
Malta uses U, PG, 12A, 12, 15, 18: https://legislation.mt/eli/ln/2012/416/eng/pdf (see page 3)
The certifications for Finland need to be updated. There are content symbols that can be appended to any of the numbered certifications. The symbols mean "contains violence," "sexual content," "may cause anxiety," and "contains drug use": https://kavi.fi/en/printable-symbols-for-age-ratings/
The certifications for Netherlands also need to be updated. There are content symbols that can be appended to any of the numbered certifications. The symbols mean "violence," "fear," "sex," "discrimination," "smoking/alcohol/drugs" and "coarse language": https://www.kijkwijzer.nl/en/about-kijkwijzer/

Hello! This is an old thread but could you add the ratings for Macedonia? I can only find a website with the tv ratings specifically but they are the same for the movies too.

@travisbell Hi, can you please add the certifications for Nepal? I would love to mark "The Boy and the Heron" as PG but I too am getting the same error as most. Thank you.

@travisbell @Sheigutn Please add the official age rating system used in cinemas in Saudi Arabia:
G PG PG12 R12 R15 R18
These ratings are officially recognized and currently not reflected in TMDB, where the certification field shows “No Data.”
