National-ID
When you are asked to provide your National-ID number, the format you should fill in depends on your nationality. Please refer to the table below for the different priority identifiers in your country.
At the bottom of the page, you will find information on what to do if the table states that you should use CONCAT as the identifier.
| ISO 3166 — 1 | Country Name | 1st priority identifier | 2nd priority identifier | 3rd priority identifier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | Austria | CONCAT | ||
| BE | Belgium | Belgian National Number - 11 numerical digits where the first 6 are the date of birth (YYMMDD), the next 3 are an ordering number (uneven for men, even for women) and the last 2 a check digit. | CONCAT | |
| BG | Bulgaria | Bulgarian Personal Number - It consists of 10 digits. The first 6 are the date of birth (YYMMDD). The next 3 digits have information about the area in Bulgaria and the order of birth, and the ninth digit is even for a boy and odd for a girl. Seventh and eighth are randomly generated according to the city. The tenth digit is a check digit. | CONCAT | |
| CY | Cyprus | National Passport Number - The number for passports issued before 13/12/2010 consists of the character 'E' followed by 6 digits i.e E123456. Biometric passports issued after 13/12/2010 have a number that starts with the character 'K', followed by 8 digits. i.e K12345678 | CONCAT | |
| CZ | Czech Republic | National identification number (Rodné číslo) - It is a nine or ten-digit number in the format of YYXXDD/SSSC, where XX=MM (month of birth) for male, i.e. numbers 01-12, and XX=MM+50 (or exceptionally XX=MM+70) for female, i.e. numbers 51-62 (or 71-82). For example, a number 785723 representing the first six digits is assigned to a woman born on 23rd of July 1978. SSS is a serial number distinguishing persons born on the same date and C is a check digit. For people born before January 1st 1954 the number is without this check digit - YYXXDD/SSS (i.e. the nine-digit case). If the national identification number has ten digits, then the tenth (check) digit is the first nine digits modulo 11, unless this modulo is 10. In that case the tenth digit is 0. Therefore, the ten-digit number is usually divisible by 11 | Passport Number | CONCAT |

To calculate the checksum digit, every digit from CNP is multiplied with the corresponding digit in number 279146358279; the sum of all these multiplications is then divided by 11. If the remainder is 10 then the checksum digit is 1, otherwise it's the remainder itself. | National Passport Number | CONCAT |
