The existence of different country codes developed by different organizations can lead to confusion when exchanging goods or information in our increasingly integrated world. To ensure that communications worked, it was necessary to adopt a modern standard for country codes.
ISO 3166 is such a generally accepted international standard, and the ISO 3166 Technical Assistance Agency (ISO 3166/MA) has been continuously updating it since 1974.
ISO 3166 is an international ISO standard that defines the code designations of states and dependent territories, as well as the main administrative entities within states.
ISO 3166-1 is part of the ISO 3166 standard containing codes for the names of countries and subordinate territories. First published in 1974. Defines three different codes for each country:
ISO 3166-1 - State and dependent territory codes
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 - two-letter
ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 - three-letter
ISO 3166-1 numeric - digital
ISO 3166-2 is part of the ISO 3166 standard, containing codes of administrative entities within states (regions, states, provinces, etc.). First published in 1998.
ISO 3166-3 is part of the ISO 3166 standard, containing codes for the names of states that no longer exist (merger, division, change of name, etc.). First published in 1999.
If after 1974 countries:
- joined others (for example, the GDR to the Federal Republic of Germany)
- collapsed (for example Czechoslovakia)
- changed their name (for example Upper Volta)
then their abbreviations are deleted from ISO 3166-1 and, with the addition of two additional letters, entered into ISO 3166-3. In this case, the first two letters represent the old code from ISO 3166-1 and the last two letters represent the new code from ISO 3166-1. If there is no unique successor, then the last letters will be HH. For the Union of Serbia and Montenegro, which had the abbreviation CS, the abbreviation CSXX was defined in 2006 instead of CSHH, so as not to be confused with the CSHH code for the former Czechoslovakia.
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 two-letter codes are used by ICANN to assign country code top-level domain names.
250 countries and territories have their own codes. According to the standards agency ISO 3166/MA, a country or territory must be included in the UN Gazette. Country names or country and area codes for use in UN Statistics Division statistics. To be included on the ballot, a country or territory must meet any of the following conditions:
- be a member of the UN
- be a member of any of the UN specialized agencies
- take part in the compilation of the code of laws of the International Court of Justice.
A country or region gets a new code when its name changes, and the numeric code changes when its boundaries change. Some codes are reserved for various purposes, for example, obsolete codes become reserved.

Vehicle country codes are required to identify the vehicle's state of registration. Previously, a sticker on which the country code was indicated in capital letters served this purpose. The distinguishing sign of the country of registration must be affixed to the rear of the vehicle near the license plate and may also be included in the registration number of the vehicle. If the decal is included in the registration number, it must also appear on the front registration plate of the vehicle.
The distinctive sign may be supplemented by the flag or emblem of the national state or the emblem of the regional economic integration organization to which the country belongs. The insignia must be displayed on the far left or far right corner of the registration plate. If a symbol/flag/emblem is present on the registration number, the decal must be placed at the leftmost position on the registration plate.
Recently, countries have been moving to determine ownership on registration plates. For example, in the European Union countries this code is displayed on the standard vehicle registration number. In this case, the sticker is no longer required.
Nevertheless, there were cases (for example, in Germany) when a fine was issued for its absence. To avoid misunderstandings, even if you do not want to stick it, it is better to take the sticker with you and stick it on request.
According to the Convention on International Traffic, the sticker must be in the form of an ellipse, the main axis of which is horizontal, and the letters must be black on a white background.

Name: All-Russian Classifier of Countries of the World Abbreviation: OKSM Designation: OK (MK (ISO 3166) 004-97) 025-2001 In English: Russian classification of countries of the world Responsible: Rostekhregulirovanie Reason: Resolution of the State Standard of the Russian Federation dated December 14, 2001 No. 529 -st Date of introduction: 07/01/2002 End date: not established (there is no order to cancel the classifier or replace it with a new one) Last change: No. 24, valid from May 1, 2019 Reason for change: Order of Rosstandart dated February 20, 2019 N 45-st Adopted to replace the old classifier OKSM - OK (MK (ISO 3166) 004-97) 025-95.
Development and purpose
The All-Russian Classifier of World Countries was developed by the All-Russian Research Institute of Classification, Terminology and Information on Standardization and Quality (VNIIKI) of the State Standard of Russia and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Bank of Russia). Introduced by the Scientific and Technical Directorate of the State Standard of Russia.
Purpose: identification of countries of the world, used in the exchange of information at the international level.
International standards: brought into compliance with the International Standard ISO 3166-97 “Codes for representing names of countries”, Interstate Classifier of Countries of the World MK (ISO 3166) 004-97.
Note: OKSM is part of the Unified System of Classification and Coding of Technical, Economic and Social Information.
Classifier structure
The structure of OKSM consists of 3 blocks:
- Digital identification - three-digit digital country code of the world;
- Name - short and full name of the country in the world;
- Letter identification - two-digit (alpha-2) and three-digit (alpha-3) letter codes consisting of letters of the Latin alphabet.
If the full name is missing, this means that it coincides with the short name. Letter codes have a visual association (similarity in spelling) with the generally accepted name of a country in the world. Two-digit codes are recommended for international exchanges. Three-digit codes are used for information exchange in exceptional cases. Changing the name of a country in the world may entail changing the letter codes, but this does not affect the digital code.
Example entry
RUSSIA Russian Federation 643 RU RUS in this entry: RUSSIA - short name of the country Russian Federation - full official name of the country 643 - digital country code RU - alphabetic code alpha-2 RUS - alphabetic code alpha-3It should be taken into account that the dictionaries and geographical maps published by Rosreestr use names of countries that differ from the names in OKSM.

Today, all states use specialized license plates for cars. An important feature is that they are significantly different. This applies in particular to European countries.

What they look like
The use of vehicles for personal purposes and their ownership are permitted on the territory of all states without exception.
In European and others, special state numbers are used that carry individual identification information. It must be remembered that these numbers vary significantly in all EU countries without exception.
Previously, all countries that were part of the EU used different registration marks. Moreover, they all had the same purpose. But unified standards for this kind of registration marks were introduced relatively long ago.
They are established by EU Council Resolution No. 2411/98 of November 3, 1998. This resolution came into force on November 11.
The signs of the following countries were used as a model when creating uniform standards:
- Ireland (1991);
- Portugal (1992);
- Germany (1994).
The years are indicated in order to understand the format of the numbers. Since throughout the 20th century, the format of this type of number changed quite significantly in all countries without exception.
It is important to remember the large number of nuances associated with the standards used. If possible, it is worth familiarizing yourself with all of them in advance.
The following main elements are applied to the registration plate itself:
- on the left side there is a star ring on a blue background with the Latin letter “D”;
- Next is a set of letters and numbers - the individual registration number of a specific car registered in the European Union.
The overall dimensions of the type of sign in question are standard. That is why, usually, after transporting cars from EU countries, no difficulties with subsequent installation arise.
To have an idea of what the numbers of European countries look like, it’s worth familiarizing yourself with the examples.
They look like this:

Decoding European license plates
It is enough to simply decipher the license plates that are installed on cars in EU countries. At the moment, on the Internet you can easily find a complete set of designations for various types of countries.
The full list of designations on EU license plates is reflected in the following regulatory documents:
- Geneva Convention on Road Traffic - from 1949;
- – 1968.
At the same time, a fairly large number of codes coincide with those indicated in the international regulatory document ISO 3166-1. It is also important to remember that there are quite a large number of unofficial codes.
Similar ones are not used in EU countries, but are used by various unrecognized republics and other territorial associations.
Each country is assigned its own individual number. It should be remembered that when traveling to EU countries in your own car, which has a Russian license plate, you must affix a sticker with the corresponding letter designation (RUS) to the car body.
At the same time, traveling abroad itself has a large number of nuances and features. You will need to familiarize yourself with all of them in advance. This way you can avoid the occurrence of a variety of difficulties.
Car codes for European countries
European car license plates are equipped with special codes, depending on the country in which the specific car was registered.
Today the EU includes countries with the following designations:
Austria A Belgium B Bulgaria B.G. Great Britain G.B. Hungary H Germany D Greece GR Denmark DK Ireland IRL Spain E Italy I Cyprus C.Y. Latvia LV Lithuania LT Luxembourg L Malta M.T. Netherlands NL Poland P.L. Slovakia S.K. Slovenia SLO Portugal P Romania R.O. Finland FIN France F Croatia HR Czech CZ Sweden S Estonia EST European license plates by country must be provided with special numbers and letters. There is a fairly large number of different nuances associated with such designations.
How to attach
The fastening of the number plate of the type in question is carried out in a standard manner, almost completely corresponding to the process of fastening the number plate in the Russian Federation.
Today there are several methods for installing this kind of state-type identification marks on a car:
- using bolts, on standard landing marks;
- by through drilling;
- on self-tapping screws.
The optimal solution would be to use regular bolts for mounting the license plate. You can purchase such hardware at any hardware store.
Almost all cars without exception are equipped with standard pre-fabricated holes in a specially adapted location on the bumper. It will be enough to arm yourself with a pair of keys and a screwdriver for installation.
The bolt goes right through the number plate, number frame, and a special mounting surface. After this, the back side is screwed using a nut and washers.
There are also criminal elements associated with number plate theft in the EU. It is for this purpose that all kinds of special fastening methods are used. This allows you to reduce the likelihood of number theft to a very minimum.
One such method is through-drilling the bumper. This will allow you to secure the number in such a way that in the absence of a lift, special tools and time, it will be virtually impossible to remove the number.
The only option is a grinder. As practice shows, criminals rarely have such tools with them.
A special tool is also often used to install rivets. You can purchase it yourself to carry out the fastening procedure (its cost is low) or contact a specialized workshop.
There are quite a large number of different alternative options. It is possible to use long screws as hardware. But such fasteners are not reliable enough.
Nylon clamps are often used. They are used to fasten the number frame to the number itself.
This kind of procedure allows you to reduce the likelihood of accidentally losing your number. But at the same time, this method of fastening still will not protect against fraudsters who steal license plates.
There is a certain list of requirements for the license plate itself. A special standard does not allow changes to the design.
Currently it is prohibited in the EU:
- change the overhangs of the front and rear corners of the car using a license plate (as well as other structures);
- In no case should the license plates themselves cover the light and signal elements with their plane or protrude beyond the dimensions of the car;
- The license plate itself should not be drilled; standard mounting holes must be used.
The EU sets certain standards for the location of the license plate within 4 planes.
The following specific standards are established:
In no case is it allowed to use various types of elements that obscure the information reflected on the number. And this also applies to fastening elements. The heads of screws, bolts or other components must be colorless.
The use of all kinds of reflective components is prohibited. A complete list of all actions prohibited by law is reflected in special documents of the European Union. It is important to remember that they apply to almost all countries without exception.
Old numbers that do not comply with EU standards are only used in the UK and some other EU entities. The reason for this is the special conditions for joining this conglomerate.
The situation is similar with the standards that apply to mounting a license plate on a vehicle body. They are different for the UK and other countries in the same position.
Responsibility in the EU and other European countries for lack of numbers
If you need to travel in your own car to EU countries, you must make sure that you have a license plate on your vehicle.
Moreover, the very fact of his presence is important. After crossing the border of the Russian Federation, the features of fastening the license plate and other points will not be important.
It is only required that there are no problems with reading information directly from the number. Otherwise, the road inspector will issue a fine for an administrative violation.
