# Region support for Amazon Organizations
<a name="region-support"></a>

Amazon Organizations is available in all Amazon commercial Regions, Amazon GovCloud (US) Regions, and China Regions.

For a list of functionality differences in Amazon GovCloud (US) Regions, see [Amazon Organizations in Amazon GovCloud (US)](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/govcloud-us/latest/UserGuide/govcloud-organizations.html).

For a list of functionality differences in China Regions, see [Amazon Organizations in China](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/en_us/aws/latest/userguide/organizations.html).

**The service endpoints for Organizations are located**:
+ In US East (N. Virginia) for commercial organizations
+ In Amazon GovCloud (US-West) for Amazon GovCloud (US) organizations
+ In China (Ningxia) for China organizations, operated by Ningxia Western Cloud Data Technology Co. Ltd (NWCD).

All organization entities are globally accessible, except for organizations managed in China, similar to how Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) works today. You do not need to specify an Amazon Web Services Region when you create and manage your organization, but you will need to create a separate organization for accounts used in China. Users in your Amazon Web Services accounts can use Amazon Web Services services in any geographic Region where that service is available. 

**Note**  
**Tag policies are only supported in a subset of Regions**  
Tag policies are a type of policy that can help you standardize tags across resources in your organization's accounts. Tag policies are only supported in a subet of Regions where Organizations is supported. For a list of Regions where tag policies are supported, see [Tag policies \$1 Support Regions](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_policies_tag-policies-supported-regions.html).
