The day-month-year order has been increasing in usage since the early 1980s. The year-month-day order, such as the ISO 8601 “YYYY-MM-DD” notation is popular in computer applications because it reduces the amount of code needed to resolve and compute dates.

Best Practice: For date, always include four digit year and use numbers for months. For example, the date format yyyy-mm-dd would appear as 2011-03-15 (March 15, 2011).

The United Kingdom generally uses the date format DD/MM/YYYY and the United States of America generally uses the date format MM/DD/YYYY. So, depending on where you’re from, 05/03/2015 could be interpreted as the 5th of March 2015 or the 3rd of May 2015, respectively.

The United States is one of the few countries that use “mm-dd-yyyy” as their date format–which is very very unique! The day is written first and the year last in most countries (dd-mm-yyyy) and some nations, such as Iran, Korea, and China, write the year first and the day last (yyyy-mm-dd).

The international standard date notation is. YYYY-MM-DD. where YYYY is the year in the usual Gregorian calendar, MM is the month of the year between 01 (January) and 12 (December), and DD is the day of the month between 01 and 31.

Using the European Date Format In European countries and most other places in the world, the day comes first, then the month, and then the year. The fourth day in January would be written like this: 4 January 2005. 4/1/05.

You’d think something as common and important as writing dates would be standardized by now. And in fact it is, ISO 8601 sets the international standard for writing dates as YYYY-MM-DD. However, as the map above shows, that format is not commonly used outside of East Asia.

In India, the DD-MM-YY is the predominant short form of the numeric date usage. The hyphen (-) is the separator symbol. Almost all government documents need to be filled up in the DD-MM-YYYY format. An example of DD-MM-YYYY usage is the passport application on.
