Question

Is "MX" or "MEX" the abbreviation for Mexico?

Answer 1

MX

Answer 2

MX is more commonly accepted, but both are ok.

Answer 3

For internet use is always mx, like"www.yahoo.com.mx"

MX is like the international abbreviation.

In México we always use three or four letras, let me show you some mexican states and its abbr.:

Aguascalientes: Ags.

Jalisco: Jal.

Querétaro: Qro.

Chiapas: Chis.

Sonora: Son.

So, México is Mex. In USA they use always two:

California: CA

Minnesota: MN

Washington: WA

So, for international use we abbreviate México as MX, but here in México we prefer to use Méx. and writen just like that: MX or Mex.

It is like english abbreviation is MX and spanish abbreviation is Méx.

Answer 4

Both are acceptable.

Answer 5

I have always used MX but MEX is also accepted.
