ISO-3166-1 coding list

The country code list, which was first introduced in 1974, is divided into

• three sub-columns for the ALPHA-2, ALPHA-3 and numeric codes listed in the first part of ISO 3166 , and
• Columns for the top level domains (TLD) , the country codes of the IOC ( International Olympic Committee ), codes for states with subnational units according to ISO 3166-2 and the UN / LOCODE (UN location codes).

The former states are only given for information in this table. They have been deleted from ISO 3166-1 and are now part of ISO 3166-3 .

The official name of the state in German is used. Compare web links and the sources given there.

Remarks

1. ↑ ^{a b c d e f g h i} Exceptionally reserved code in ISO 3166-1. This code only exists because it is used in other standards (for example with the SWIFT code ) and should not be used for coding according to ISO 3166-1.
2. ↑ ^{a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad ae af ag ah} Formerly valid code that should no longer be used. Temporarily reserved for decoding.
3. ↑ Update service DIN EN ISO 3166-1 (publisher): Change notification No. IV-5 2018-07-20 . July 20, 2018 ( din.de [PDF]).
4. ↑ provisional codes! Kosovo is controversial under international law. 114 of the 193 UN members have recognized Kosovo so far. countriescode.net
5. ↑ The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is not a recognized state or comparable territory under international law; Except for Turkey, it is still not recognized by any member state of the United Nations. As a result, no codes were assigned. Passports issued by Northern Cyprus contain the self-chosen code CTR based on the ALPHA-3 codes ( source: Cyprus Times ). However, this coding is not reserved and can be assigned differently in ISO 3166 at any time.
6. ↑ Use of country names in preference documents. General Customs Directorate, accessed on August 11, 2017 (The indication "EG" actually certifies Egyptian origin and is not permitted as a designation of origin in the European Community. The abbreviations "EEC", "CEE" or "CE" can be used).
