ISO 3166-2:BE

ISO 3166-2:BE is the entry in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions of Belgium (whose ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is BE).

Currently two levels of subdivisions are assigned codes:

• 3 regions — Each code consists of three letters.
• 10 provinces — Each code starts with BE-, followed by three letters. The first letter indicates the region where the province is in:
  • V: Flemish Region (Dutch: Vlaamse Gewest)
  • W: Walloon Region (French: Wallonne, Région)

Current codes

Codes and subdivision names are listed as in the official standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA). Click on the button in the header to sort each column.

Regions

These codes are defined in the official standard without the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the country as prefix, and thus do not guarantee uniqueness in a global context by themselves. They can be completed by adding BE-.
