Probably best to identify what model vehicle this is for, and post this thread there.

That looks like the aftermarket replacement style so no VW blank.

Check WW's key page:
https://www.wolfsburgwest.com/wolfsburg_new/door_components/door_keys.cfm
Head shape looks like "L" but the grooves are the real determinant, so compare those closely; these don't appear to match, so keep looking through their keys.

This outfit might be able to identify your blank, too:

That may be an aftermarket key, but it could be an aftermarket version that fits a genuine VW lock/switch.

Key grooves look like "O" profile, but head is different.
O profile was for steering lock from Neiman, VW series S64, 3/1/54 to 12/31/57

There isn't any VW key that matches your aftermarket ignition key.

There's just no tellin'. I once lost my VW bug keys while I was at
a laundromat. There was some random, non-VW key pinned up to
the laundromat bulletin board. I took it, and stuck it in my bug ignition switch. It worked like a charm. I used that laundromat key daily for several weeks.
