- The requirements for having a country code on your vehicle (either on both number plates or on a white oval sticker: large ones for cars, small ones for motorcycles) comes from the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic – Wikipedia
- If you do not have it on your number plate (like for instance Swiss cars), you have to have the oval sticker when traveling abroad as you can get fined and some countries are very picky on fining: [WayBack] CH sticker on back of car – English Forum Switzerland
- ISO 3166-1 – Wikipedia: country codes (alpha-2, alpha-3 and numeric)
