A map of Europe, with ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes in place of the full names of countries and other territories. 'Exceptional reservations' codes CQ, EU and UK are not shown.

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes are two-letter country codes defined in ISO 3166-1, part of the ISO 3166 standard^[1] published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), to represent countries, dependent territories, and special areas of geographical interest. They are the most widely used of the country codes published by ISO (the others being alpha-3 and numeric), and are used most prominently for the Internet's country code top-level domains (with a few exceptions). They were first included as part of the ISO 3166 standard in its first edition in 1974.

Uses and applications

The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes are used in different environments and are also part of other standards. In some cases they are not perfectly implemented.

Perfect implementations

The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes are used in the following standards:

Short name	Long name	Comment
ISO 3166-2	Country subdivision code^[1]
ISO 3901	International Standard Recording Code (ISRC)^[2]
ISO 4217	Currency code^[3]
ISO 6166	International Securities Identifying Number (ISIN)^[4]
ISO 9362	Bank Identifier Codes (BIC)	Also known as SWIFT codes^[5]
ISO 13616	International Bank Account Number (IBAN)^[6]
ISO 15511	International Standard Identifier for Libraries and Related Organizations (ISIL)
UN/LOCODE	United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations	Implemented by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe^[7]

Imperfect implementations

Starting in 1985, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes have been used in the Domain Name System as country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority currently assigns the ccTLDs mostly following the alpha-2 codes, but with a few exceptions.^[8] For example, the United Kingdom, whose alpha-2 code is <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />GB, uses .uk instead of .gb as its ccTLD, as <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />UK is currently exceptionally reserved in ISO 3166-1 at the request of the United Kingdom.

The WIPO coding standard ST.3 is based on ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes, but includes a number of additional codes for international intellectual property organizations, which are currently reserved and not used at the present stage in ISO 3166-1.^[9]

The European Commission generally uses ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes with two exceptions: <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />EL (not <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />GR) is used to represent Greece, and <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />UK (not <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />GB) is used to represent the United Kingdom.^[10]^[11] This notwithstanding, the Official Journal of the European Communities specified that <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />GR and <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />GB be used to represent Greece and United Kingdom respectively.^[12] For VAT administration purposes, the European Commission uses <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />EL and <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />GB for Greece and the United Kingdom respectively.

The United Nations uses a combination of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 and alpha-3 codes, along with codes that pre-date the creation of ISO 3166, for international vehicle registration codes, which are codes used to identify the issuing country of a vehicle registration plate; some of these codes are currently indeterminately reserved in ISO 3166-1.^[13]

IETF language tags (conforming to the BCP 47 standard track and maintained in an IANA registry) are also partially derived from ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (for the region subtags). The full list of ISO 3166-1 codes assigned to countries and territories are usable as region subtags. Also, the "exceptionally reserved" alpha-2 codes defined in ISO 3166-1 (with the exception of <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />UK) are also usable as region subtags for language tags. However, newer stability policies (agreed with ISO) have been implemented to avoid deleting subtags that have been withdrawn in ISO 3166-1; instead they are kept and aliased to the new preferred subtags, or kept as subtags grouping several countries. Some other region grouping subtags are derived from other standards. Under the newer stability policies, old assigned codes that have been withdrawn from ISO 3166-1 should no longer be reassigned to another country or territory (as has occurred in the past for "CS").

User-assigned code elements

Script error: No such module "anchor". Script error: No such module "anchor". Script error: No such module "anchor". Script error: No such module "anchor". Script error: No such module "anchor".

User-assigned code elements are codes at the disposal of users who need to add further names of countries, territories, or other geographical entities to their in-house application of ISO 3166-1, and the ISO 3166/MA will never use these codes in the updating process of the standard. The following alpha-2 codes can be user-assigned: <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />AA, <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />QM to <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />QZ, <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />XA to <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />XZ, and <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />ZZ.^[22] For example:

The International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) uses <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />QM as a second country code for the United States, as it ran out of three-character registrant codes within the <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />US prefix. It also uses <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />ZZ for some registrants assigned directly.^[23]
The Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) assigns <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />QO to represent Outlying Oceania (a multi-territory region containing Antarctica, Bouvet Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Christmas Island, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, the British Indian Ocean Territory, the French Southern Territories, and the United States Minor Outlying Islands), and <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />ZZ to represent "Unknown or Invalid Territory". Before the adoption of the macroregion code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />EU by ISO, CLDR also used <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />QU to represent the European Union.^[24]
The code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />QZ is being used by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) as an indicator for the Community Plant Variety Office.
The code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />XA is being used by Swiss Government^[25] as a country code for the Canary Islands, although <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />IC is already reserved for that purpose.
The codes <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />XA and <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />XO are being used by Russian Government^[26] to represent Abkhazia and South Ossetia respectively.
The code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />XI is being used by the UK Government,^[27] as an EORI number country code prefix for Northern Ireland, and the members of European Union for European Union value added tax reports with trade with Northern Ireland.^[28]
The code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />XK is being used by the European Commission,^[29] the IMF, the SWIFT,^[30] the CLDR, and other organizations as a temporary country code for Kosovo.^[31]
The code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />XN is being used by WIPO as an indicator for the Nordic Patent Institute, an international organization common to Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.^[32]
The code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />XU is being used by WIPO as an indicator for the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants.
The code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />XV is being used by WIPO as an indicator for the Visegrad Patent Institute.
The code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />XX is being used by WIPO as an indicator for unknown states, other entities or organizations.
UN/LOCODE assigns <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />XZ to represent installations in international waters.^[7]

Script error: No such module "anchor". Furthermore, the code element <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />OO is designated as an escape code if the number of regular user-assigned code elements is not sufficient.^[33]

Reserved code elements

Reserved code elements are codes which have become obsolete, or are required in order to enable a particular user application of the standard but do not qualify for inclusion in ISO 3166-1. To avoid transitional application problems and to aid users who require specific additional code elements for the functioning of their coding systems, the ISO 3166/MA, when justified, reserves these codes which it undertakes not to use for other than specified purposes during a limited or indeterminate period of time.

The reserved alpha-2 codes are divided into the following three categories: exceptional reservations, transitional reservations, and indeterminate reservations.^[22]

Exceptional reservations

Exceptionally reserved code elements are codes reserved at the request of national ISO member bodies, governments and international organizations, which are required in order to support a particular application, as specified by the requesting body and limited to such use; any further use of such code elements is subject to approval by the ISO 3166/MA. The following alpha-2 codes are currently exceptionally reserved:

Code	Area name or country name	Current actual country	ccTLD	Notes
<templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />AC	Ascension Island	United Kingdom	.ac	Reserved on request of UPU for stamp issuing area
<templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />CP	Clipperton Island	France	—	Reserved on request of ITU for location of certain telecommunications installations

<templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />UN	United Nations	multiple	—	Reserved directly by ISO 3166/MA for the United Nations

The following alpha-2 codes were previously exceptionally reserved, but are now officially assigned:

Code	Area name or country name	Notes
<templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />AX	Åland Islands	Reserved on request of Finland
<templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />GG	Guernsey	Reserved on request of UPU for stamp issuing area

<templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />JE	Jersey	Reserved on request of UPU for stamp issuing area

Transitional reservations

Transitional reserved code elements are codes reserved after their deletion from ISO 3166-1. These codes may be used only during a transitional period of at least five years while new code elements that may have replaced them are taken into use. These codes may be reassigned by the ISO 3166/MA after the expiration of the transitional period. The following alpha-2 codes are currently transitionally reserved:

Code	Formerly used country name	Reserved from	Reserved to	ccTLD	ISO 3166-3	Notes

(Though reserved, the ccTLD .cs was never actually assigned to Serbia and Montenegro; the ccTLD of Serbia and Montenegro was .yu, as that formerly unified country's name, and that of its larger predecessor, had previously been Yugoslavia.) <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />CS originally represented Czechoslovakia. Its successor state Czechia uses <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />CZ, and Slovakia <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />SK.

The following alpha-2 code was previously transitionally reserved, but was later reassigned to another country as its official code:

Code	Formerly used country name	Date of reservation	ccTLD	ISO 3166-3	Notes
<templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />CS	Czechoslovakia	1993-06	—	<templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />CSHH	Code reassigned to Serbia and Montenegro ccTLD <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />.cs has been deleted

For each deleted alpha-2 code, an entry for the corresponding former country name is included in ISO 3166-3. Each entry is assigned a four-letter alphabetic code, where the first two letters are the deleted alpha-2 code.

Indeterminate reservations

Indeterminately reserved code elements are reserved for use in a particular way, usually due to their presence in other coding systems. For example, several codes are reserved because they are used for international intellectual property organizations in WIPO Standard ST.3. The following alpha-2 codes are currently indeterminately reserved:

The following alpha-2 codes were previously indeterminately reserved, but have been reassigned to another country as its official code:

Code elements previously reserved indeterminately
Code	Area name or country name	Current code	Notes	Code reassigned to
<templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />LT	Libya Tripoli		^{[note 4]}	Lithuania

Notes

↑ ^a ^b WIPO Standard ST.3 actually uses <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />EA, instead of <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />EV, to represent the Eurasian Patent Organization. However, <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />EA was already exceptionally reserved by the ISO 3166/MA to represent Ceuta and Melilla for customs purposes. The ISO 3166/MA proposed in 1995 that <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />EV be used by WIPO to represent the Eurasian Patent Organization; however, this request was not honoured by WIPO.^[36]

Deleted codes

Besides the codes currently transitionally reserved and two other codes currently exceptionally reserved (<templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />FX for France, Metropolitan and <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />SU for USSR), the following alpha-2 codes have also been deleted from ISO 3166-1:^[37]

For each deleted alpha-2 code, an entry for the corresponding former country name is included in ISO 3166-3. Each entry is assigned a four-letter alphabetic code, where the first two letters are the deleted alpha-2 code.
