The ID number is already allocated at the time the birth certificate is generated and required for child passport applications. This passport-size document contains only 8 pages - the first page containing the national identification number (also in barcoded format), name of bearer, district or country of birth, as well as a photograph of the bearer. The other pages are used for recording of voting participation, a page for driver's license information (although it is no longer used since the introduction of <a href="/wiki/Plastic_card" title="Plastic card">plastic card</a> type licenses), as well as pages for fire arms licenses (also plastic card type now). The card is required to apply for a passport, car learner's license (over 17), motorcycle learner's license (over 16), driving license (over 18), motorcycle license (over 16 or 18 depending on cc) and to vote (over 18). The Identity Card is not used for international travel purposes (a separate passport is issued) but usually is acceptable photographic identification for internal flights, and mainly serves as proof of identification. Some authorities may accept the driver's license as proof of identity, but the Identity Card is the only universally accepted form of identification. The government has started issuing ID cards which contains a biometric chip which, in turn, holds biographical information which is unique to the holder of that specific card. The South African government has since phased out the Green Barcoded Identity Card and replaced it with the plastic Smart Identity Card. The Identity number is also used when the holder applies for a grant from the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Validation">Validation</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=National_identification_number&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Validation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A South African person identification number is a 13-digit number containing only numeric characters, and no whitespace, punctuation, or alpha characters.

This was later unified in the DNI. </p><p>For taxpaying purposes, the CUIT and CUIL (Código Único de Identificación Tributaria, Unique Code for Taxpaying Identification and Código de Identificación Laboral, Unique Code for Laboral Identification) are used. An example of the ID is 20-10563145-8. It is based on the DNI and appends 2 numbers at the beginning and one at the end. For example, 20 and 23 for men, 27 for women, and one control digit at the end. Employees have a CUIL (assigned at the moment the DNI is created), and employers have a CUIT. The first two digits to identify the CUIT for companies are for instance: 30 or 33. If a person decides to open a company of its own, his CUIL usually becomes his CUIT. The CUIT was needed because a different identification is required for companies, who cannot be identified by a DNI number. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Brazil">Brazil</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=National_identification_number&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Brazil"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Registro_Geral" class="mw-redirect" title="Registro Geral">Registro Geral</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cadastro_de_Pessoas_F%C3%ADsicas" class="mw-redirect" title="Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas">Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas</a></div> <p>In <a href="/wiki/Brazil" title="Brazil">Brazil</a>, there are two main systems: The first, the <i>Registro Geral</i> (RG, General Registry in free translation) is the record number of the <a href="/wiki/Brazilian_identity_card" title="Brazilian identity card">Identity Cards</a> issued by the Institutes of Identification from <a href="/wiki/Federative_units_of_Brazil" title="Federative units of Brazil">Federative Units</a> (whose links may vary between their civil and scientific polices - except in Rio de Janeiro, where they're issued by its Transit Department) under a national graphic and data standard since 1984.

Since the 1960s, <a href="/wiki/Pakistan" title="Pakistan">Pakistan</a> has been issuing National Identity Card (commonly known by the acronym, NIC) numbers to its citizens. These numbers are assigned at birth when the parents complete the child's birth registration form (B-Form), and then a National Identity Card (NIC) with the same number is issued at the age of 18. Until, 2001 NIC numbers were 11 digits long. In 2001–2002, the <a href="/wiki/National_Database_and_Registration_Authority" title="National Database and Registration Authority">National Database and Registration Authority</a> (NADRA), started issuing 13-digit NIC numbers along with their new biometric ID cards. The first 5 digits are based on the applicant's locality, the next 7 are serial numbers, and the last digit is a check digit. The last digit also indicates the gender of the applicant; an even number indicates a female and an odd number indicates a male. The old numbers are invalid as of 2004. </p><p>As of 2012, NADRA has started to issue SMART ID cards which include an encrypted chip. The SMART card plan is to be extended to disburse social benefits as well as to allow the heirs of the card to get life insurance at the death of the card holder. This also allow citizens verify their card status through Citizen Verification Service offered by NADRA which enable citizens to verify their own status in NADRA database. </p><p>Every citizen has an NIC number for activities such as registering as a voter, voting in the general elections, paying taxes, opening a bank account, getting a utility connection (phone, cell phone, gas, electricity) purchasing or renting property, completing secondary education, acquiring higher education or applying for a job in most cases. However, since a majority of births in the country are not registered, and a large number of Pakistanis do not conduct any of the activities described above, most do not have ID cards. Obtaining an NIC card costs 100 rupees (US$1.66 - almost the average daily income), and this reduces the number of people who can afford it. In 2006, NADRA announced that it had issued 50 million CNIC (the C standing for Computerized) numbers, which is approximately one-third of the population. In June 2008, the federal government announced it would start issuing CNIC cards for free. </p><p>In addition to NIC/CNIC companies and individuals in business and employment with taxable income are required to register with <a href="/wiki/Federal_Board_of_Revenue" title="Federal Board of Revenue">Federal Board of Revenue</a> (FBR) and have their National Tax Number (commonly known as NTN). The tax number is mainly used only for taxation purposes and is rarely used otherwise as compared to other countries. New NTN certificates are being issued with computerized NIC numbers and old NTN certificates bearing old NIC numbers will become invalid.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Philippines">Philippines</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=National_identification_number&action=edit&section=35" title="Edit section: Philippines"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Philippine_identity_card" class="mw-redirect" title="Philippine identity card">Philippine identity card</a></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Nationality_law_of_the_Philippines" class="mw-redirect" title="Nationality law of the Philippines">Filipino citizens</a> as well as <a href="/wiki/Permanent_residency" title="Permanent residency">resident</a> <a href="/wiki/Alien_(law)" title="Alien (law)">aliens</a> will be eligible to obtain a PhilSys ID.<sup id="cite_ref-congressratify_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-congressratify-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> PhilSys ID card will be issued to all Filipino citizens and foreign residents aged 18 and above.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The PhilSys ID will store 13 sets of information.

It consists of eleven characters of the form <code>DDMMYYCZZZQ</code>, where <code>DDMMYY</code> is the day, month and year of birth, <code>C</code> the century sign, <code>ZZZ</code> the individual number and <code>Q</code> the control character (checksum). The sign for the century is either <code>+</code> (1800–1899); <code>-, U, V, W, X, or Y</code>(1900–1999); or <code>A, B, C, D, E, F</code> (2000–2099). The individual number <code>ZZZ</code> distinguishes persons with the same date of birth from each other and it is odd for males and even for females and for people born in Finland or permanent residents its range is 002–899. Numbers 900–999 are used for temporary personal identification, for example in hospitals, when an official ID is not known or has not yet been given to a child born. Temporary IDs are not logged in the Finnish Population Information System. </p><p>An example of a valid code for a fictional female born on 13 October 1952 is <code>131052-308T</code>. The control character, either a number or a letter, is determined by the remainder of <code>DDMMYYZZZ</code> divided by 31, i.e. by dropping the century sign and calculating the resulting nine-digit number <a href="/wiki/Modulo_operation" class="mw-redirect" title="Modulo operation">mod</a> 31. The corresponding character is then picked from the string "0123456789ABCDEFHJKLMNPRSTUVWXY" (ambiguous letters G, I, O, Q, and Z are not used). For remainders below ten, the remainder itself is the control character whereas 10 corresponds to A, 11=B, 12=C, ending up with 30=Y. In this example, 131052308 mod 31 = 25 = T. </p><p>A Personal Identity Code is given to every Finnish citizen born in Finland. Foreign citizens whose residence in Finland is permanent or exceeds one year are also issued a personal identity code by law. The Personal Identity Code is a means to distinguish between individuals having the same name. It can be found in some public documents (such as the deed of purchase of real estate). Therefore, knowing the code should not be used as a proof of identity, although this sometimes happens in the commercial sector. Employers need the personal identity code to report payment of wages to Finnish Tax Administration, the pension funds, etc. </p><p>The code is shown in all forms of valid identification: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Finnish_identity_card" title="Finnish identity card">national ID card</a></li> <li>electronic national ID card (with a chip)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Driving_licence_in_Finland" title="Driving licence in Finland">driver's license</a> (old <a href="/wiki/A6_paper" class="mw-redirect" title="A6 paper">A6</a>-sized and new credit card-sized)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Finnish_passport" title="Finnish passport">passport</a></li></ul> <p>During 1964–1970 the personal identity code was known as <i>sosiaaliturvatunnus</i> (SOTU, Social Security number).

This mistake was corrected during the transition from SOFI to BSN by issuing a new number to people having a duplicate one.

Identification Cards are issued by the state authority (<a href="/wiki/Law_enforcement_in_Slovakia" title="Law enforcement in Slovakia">police</a>) for every citizen who reaches 15 years of age. In contrast to the Birth Number, this identifier can change over the citizen's lifetime if a new ID card is issued, for reasons such as expiration, loss or change of residence. The ID number is used, among other things, for voter registration (because of the domicile record verification provided by the ID).
