IANA zones · the technical identifiers

The zone that resolve to WFT.

For software, always store the IANA identifier — never the abbreviation alone. The database keeps these zones distinct because their rules can, and historically did, diverge.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about WFT, daylight saving, and how to handle it in software. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].

Is Wallis and Futuna on a permanent UTC+12:00?
Yes—Pacific/Wallis has observed a fixed UTC+12:00 since at least May 2021 and has no daylight saving schedule, so the offset never changes.
Does Wallis & Futuna Time ever observe daylight saving?
No, WFT is one of the simplest time regions in the world with zero DST rules; clocks stay the same year-round.
What countries or territories use WFT?
The only territory in this zone is the French overseas collectivity of Wallis and Futuna in the South Pacific.
How does WFT compare to New Zealand or Fiji time?
While New Zealand and Fiji both have daylight saving or recent policy shifts, WFT sits at a constant UTC+12:00 without any seasonal offset changes.
Why doesn’t Wallis and Futuna use daylight saving?
Being tropical islands near the equator, daylight hours vary little throughout the year, so there’s no need to adjust clocks—simplicity wins.
