The isomorphism problem for planar graphs is known to be efficiently solvable. For planar 3-connected graphs, the isomorphism problem can be solved by efficient parallel algorithms, it is in the class $AC^1$. In this paper we improve the upper bound for planar 3-connected graphs to unambiguous logspace, in fact to $UL \cap coUL$. As a consequence of our method we get that the isomorphism problem for oriented graphs is in $NL$. We also show that the problems are hard for $L$.
