==NUTS-2 regions==
{{main|NUTS of Switzerland}}
As a member of the [[European Free Trade Association|EFTA]], Switzerland is included in the [[Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics]] (NUTS). The three NUTS levels are:
* NUTS-1: [[Switzerland]] (CH0)
* NUTS-2: 7 Regions
* NUTS-3: 26 [[Cantons of Switzerland|Cantons]]

The seven NUTS-2 regions are the following:
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Code !! Region !! Region (local name) !! Cantons
|-
| CH01 || [[Lake Geneva region]] || Région lémanique || [[Vaud]], [[Valais]], [[Canton of Geneva|Geneva]]
|-
| CH02 || [[Espace Mittelland]] || Espace Mittelland || [[Canton of Bern|Bern]], [[Canton of Fribourg|Fribourg]], [[Canton of Solothurn|Solothurn]], [[Canton of Neuchâtel|Neuchâtel]], [[Canton of Jura|Jura]]
|-
| CH03 || [[Northwestern Switzerland]] || Nordwestschweiz || [[Basel-City]], [[Basel-Country]], [[Aargau]]
|-
| CH04 || [[Canton of Zurich|Zurich]] || Zürich || [[Canton of Zurich|Zurich]]
|-
| CH05 || [[Eastern Switzerland]] || Ostschweiz || [[Canton of Glarus|Glarus]], [[Canton of Schaffhausen|Schaffhausen]], [[Appenzell Ausserrhoden]], [[Appenzell Innerrhoden]], [[Canton of St. Gallen|St. Gallen]], [[Grisons]], [[Thurgau]]
|-
| CH06 || [[Central Switzerland]] || Zentralschweiz || [[Canton of Lucerne|Lucerne]], [[Canton of Uri|Uri]], [[Canton of Schwyz|Schwyz]], [[Obwalden]], [[Nidwalden]], [[Canton of Zug|Zug]]
|-
| CH07 || [[Ticino]] || Ticino || [[Ticino]]
|}

Below the NUTS levels, there are two [[local administrative unit|LAU]] levels (LAU-1: [[districts of Switzerland|districts]]; LAU-2: [[Municipalities of Switzerland|municipalities]]).

==Cantons==
{{Switzerland Cantons Labelled Map|float=right}}
The two-letter abbreviations are widely used, e.g. on [[Swiss car number plates|car license plate]]s and as disambiguator for localities on postal addresses if two localities in different cantons have the same name. They are also used with the prefix "CH-" as [[ISO 3166-2:CH|ISO 3166-2 codes of Switzerland]], e.g. CH-SZ for the canton of Schwyz.

SFSO also uses a numerical code ordering the cantons by their [[Constitution of Switzerland|constitutional order]] (1 to 26).

The [[List of FIPS region codes (S-U)#SZ: Switzerland|FIPS 10-4 region codes of Switzerland]] were used by the United States government. This standard was withdrawn in 2008.

The [[NUTS of Switzerland|NUTS-3 codes]] are used by the [[European Union]].

Districts are used as [[Local administrative unit|LAU-1]] level.

==Municipalities==
See [[Community Identification Number#Switzerland]]

Municipalities are used as [[Local administrative unit|LAU-2]] level.

==Localities==
