All the above answers are wrong.
You always double the initials in Spanish when you are talking of institutions or countries.
E.E.U.U. is for Estados Unidos.
There are hundreds of examples like that:
F.F.A.A is for 'Fuerzas Armadas', or Armed Forces.
F.F.C.C. is for 'Ferrocarril', or Railway.
D.D.J.J. is for 'Declaración Jurada', or Jured Declaration.
etc etc etc

EEUU stands for Estados Unidos in Spanish. It is EEUU because in Spanish, as in English the abbreviation for European Union is EU.

Estados Unidos. Since it's plural, they double the letters.
