What you can look up here
Country Codes Lookup is a searchable reference for 89 countries and territories. Each entry shows the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (for Germany, DE), the alpha-3 code (DEU), the three-digit numeric code (276), the international calling code (+49), the currency name and its three-letter currency code (EUR), the capital and a continent label. It helps when you fill in address or shipping forms, map country codes in a spreadsheet or database, set the prefix on a phone-number field, or want to know which country a +code on an unknown call belongs to.
How to use it
- Type in the main search box. It matches part of a country name, a complete alpha-2 or alpha-3 code ("jp" or "jpn"), or digits that appear in a calling code.
- To identify a dialing prefix, type it into the Reverse: +code box instead, for example +44 or 971. Typing in one box clears the other.
- Use the continent pills (All, Asia, Europe, Americas, Africa, Oceania) to restrict either search to one region. The line above the grid shows how many countries match.
- Click a card to open its detail panel, then press the clipboard button next to any value to copy it. Close the panel with the ✕ button, by clicking outside it or with the Escape key.
How the lookup works
The complete list is stored in the page's JavaScript, so searching and filtering run instantly in your browser and nothing you type is sent to a server. Letters are compared with country names anywhere in the name, ignoring case, and with the alpha-2 and alpha-3 fields only as a whole code. The reverse box strips everything except digits and compares from the start of each calling code, so +1 returns the United States, Canada and the Caribbean entries whose codes begin with +1, while +7 returns Russia and Kazakhstan.
Copying uses your browser's Clipboard API, with an older copy command as a fallback; the value goes only to your own clipboard. Flags are standard emoji, so their look depends on your system, and some Windows setups show two letters instead of a flag.
Data notes and limitations
The page does not name a data source or a revision date. The codes are a static list bundled with the page and are not updated automatically. ISO codes, calling codes and currencies change rarely, but they do change when countries are renamed, adopt a new currency or revise their numbering plans, so confirm critical values with the official ISO 3166 listing or your telecom or payment provider.
- This is not the full ISO 3166-1 list. Many countries and territories, such as Croatia, Iceland, Algeria and Cuba, are not included.
- Caribbean members of the North American numbering plan are shown as +1 plus one area code (Jamaica +1-876); some of them use more than one area code.
- Currency names are shortened, so "Peso" or "Dinar" appears for several countries. Use the currency code to tell them apart.
- Continent labels are the page's own grouping: Turkey appears under Europe, while Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan appear under Asia.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between alpha-2, alpha-3 and numeric codes?
All three identify the same country in ISO 3166-1. Two-letter codes are the most common and are the basis of most country web domains (.de, .jp). Three-letter codes are easier to read and appear in passports, sports results and trade data. Numeric codes avoid the Latin alphabet and are used by some statistical and banking systems.
How do I dial an international number?
Dial your own country's exit prefix (011 from the US and Canada, 00 from most other countries), then the destination's calling code, then the local number, usually without its leading 0. On a mobile phone you can type + instead of the exit prefix.
Why does typing +1 in the main search show so many countries?
The main search looks for your digits anywhere in a calling code, so "1" also matches codes such as +61 and +81. Use the Reverse box, which only matches from the start of the code.
Why do several countries share +1 or +7?
Some numbering plans are shared. The United States, Canada and many Caribbean nations all use +1 and are told apart by area code, while Russia and Kazakhstan share +7.
