ISO 3166-2:FR

Short description: Entry for France in ISO 3166-2

ISO 3166-2:FR is the entry for France 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 (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.

Currently for France, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for the following subdivisions:

Metropolitan France (3 levels):
- 12 metropolitan regions
- 3 metropolitan collectivities with special status
- 95 metropolitan departments
- 1 European collectivity
Overseas France:
- 1 dependency
- 5 overseas collectivities
- 1 overseas collectivity with special status
- 3 overseas departmental collectivities
- 1 overseas territory
- 2 overseas unique territorial collectivities

Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is FR, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of France. The second part is either of the following:

one digit followed by two letters: European collectivity
two digits: metropolitan departments
two digits followed by a letter: metropolitan collectivities with special status
two letters: overseas collectivities, overseas collectivity with special status, overseas territory (matching their ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes)
three letters: metropolitan regions
three digits: overseas departmental collectivities, overseas unique territorial collectivities

The metropolitan departments use their INSEE codes, which are currently used in postal codes, and used in vehicle registration plates until 2009. INSEE codes are assigned as follows:

01–89 except 20: departments created before the 20th century, assigned in alphabetical order (prefixes in the form of "Bas-" and "Haute-" are ignored at the primary sort level), except Paris and Yvelines, which replaced the former departments Seine and Seine-et-Oise respectively after the reorganization of the Paris region in 1968;
90: Territoire de Belfort, which was given department status in 1922;
91–95: departments created after the reorganization of the Paris region in 1968;
2A and 2B: Corse-du-Sud and Haute-Corse, which were created after the division of Corsica in 1975, whose INSEE code was 20.

Current codes

Subdivision names are listed as in the ISO 3166-2 standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA).

Explanatory notes

↑ The FR-69 code in ISO 316-2 still covers the department of Rhône as it was before 1 January 2015 when it was split in two parts, one of which is no longer a department but a métropole with specific status. Still, the Métropole de Lyon and the new department of Rhône are administratively managed by the French state as a single circonscription départementale (departmental constituency) that keeps the old department code.
Where distinction is needed, INSEE uses 69 to cover the new circonscription départementale du Rhône for the state-controlled administration in its préfecture (covering the whole former département du Rhône before January 2015), and assigned new codes for the two separate local collectivities: 69D for the new (smaller) département du Rhône, and 69M for the new Métropole de Lyon.
↑ ^2.0 ^2.1 The overseas territorial collectivy of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (Terres australes et antarctiques françaises in French) is also administratively covering (as one of its districts) the Adélie Land claimed by France in the Antarctic, but it is also part of the Antarctic and normally not covered by the ISO 3166-1 TF code or ISO 3166-2 FR-TF code, but by the ISO 3166-1 AQ code. The French Southern Lands (Terres australes françaises in French) are referring to only 3 of the 5 districts in the overseas territorial collectivity, excluding the claimed district in the Antarctic and the district of Scattered Islands in the Indian Ocean (Îles Éparses de l'Océan Indien). Some applications used by other countries than France or international organizations may or may not include the two contested districts, but most of them include the Scattered Islands, including the ISO 3166 standard itself.
