{{short description|Two-letter country codes defined in ISO 3166-1}} {{use dmy dates|date=February 2025}} [[File:Europe ISO 3166-1.svg|thumb|right|400px|alt=|A map of Europe, with ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes in place of the full names of countries and other territories. [[#Exceptional reservations|'Exceptional reservations']] codes CQ, EU and UK are not shown.]] '''ISO 3166-1 alpha-2''' [[code]]s are two-letter [[country code]]s defined in [[ISO 3166-1]], part of the [[ISO 3166]] [[standardization|standard]]<ref name="iso3166-info">{{cite web| url=https://www.iso.org/iso-3166-country-codes.html| title=Country Codes - ISO 3166| publisher=International Organization for Standardization (ISO)}}</ref> published by the [[International Organization for Standardization]] (ISO), to represent [[country|countries]], [[dependent territory|dependent territories]], and special areas of geographical interest. They are the most widely used of the country codes published by ISO (the others being [[ISO 3166-1 alpha-3|alpha-3]] and [[ISO 3166-1 numeric|numeric]]), and are used most prominently for the [[Internet]]'s [[country code top-level domain]]s (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: {| class="wikitable" ! Short name ! Long name !

The [[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority]] currently assigns the ccTLDs mostly following the alpha-2 codes, but with a few exceptions.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/| title=IANA – Root Zone Database| publisher=Internet Assigned Numbers Authority}}</ref> For example, the [[United Kingdom]], whose alpha-2 code is {{mono|GB}}, uses [[.uk]] instead of [[.gb]] as its ccTLD, as {{mono|UK}} is currently [[#Exceptional reservations|exceptionally reserved]] in ISO 3166-1 on the request of the United Kingdom. The [[World Intellectual Property Organization|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 organization]]s, which are currently [[#Indeterminate reservations|reserved and not used at the present stage]] in ISO 3166-1.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.wipo.int/standards/en/pdf/03-03-01.pdf | title=Standard ST.3 – Recommended standard on two-letter codes for the representation of states, other entities and intergovernmental organizations| work=Handbook on Industrial Property Information and Documentation| pages=3.3.1–3.3.9| date=April 2007| publisher=World Intellectual Property Organization}}</ref> The [[European Commission]] generally uses ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes with two exceptions: {{mono|EL}} (not {{mono|GR}}) is used to represent [[Greece]], and {{mono|UK}} (not {{mono|GB}}) is used to represent the [[United Kingdom]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-370100.htm| title=Publications Office – Interinstitutional style guide – Countries| publisher=European Union}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Interinstitutional style guide – 'EU-27 and candidate countries' |url=https://publications.europa.eu/code/pdf/370000en.htm |access-date=2022-10-03 |website=publications.europa.eu}}</ref> This notwithstanding, the ''Official Journal of the European Communities'' specified that {{mono|GR}} and {{mono|GB}} be used to represent Greece and United Kingdom respectively.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:1998:335:0022:0029:EN:PDF| title=Commission Regulation (EC) No 2645/98 of 9 December 1998 on the nomenclature of countries and territories for the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States| work=Official Journal of the European Communities, L 335| pages=22–29| date=1998-12-10| publisher=European Union}}</ref> For [[Value added tax|VAT]] administration purposes, the [[European Commission]] uses [[VAT identification number#European Union VAT identification numbers|{{mono|EL}} and {{mono|GB}} for Greece and the United Kingdom respectively.]] The [[United Nations]] uses a combination of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 and [[ISO 3166-1 alpha-3|alpha-3]] codes, along with codes that pre-date the creation of ISO 3166, for [[List of international vehicle registration codes|international vehicle registration codes]], which are codes used to identify the issuing country of a vehicle registration plate; some of these codes are currently [[#Indeterminate reservations|indeterminately reserved]] in ISO 3166-1.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.unece.org/trans/conventn/Distsigns.pdf| title=Distinguishing signs used on vehicles in international traffic| publisher=United Nations Economic Commission for Europe}}</ref> [[IETF language tag]]s (conforming to the BCP 47 standard track and maintained in an [[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|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 {{mono|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").

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.
