A birth number is a ten digit number which can be divided by eleven without any remainder. The first two digits represent the year of birth; the second two digits express the month of birth – in the case of females 50 is added; and the third two digits represent the date of birth. The last four digits distinguish between people born on the same calendar day.

Birth numbers assigned to individuals born before 1 January 1954 have the same structure, however are composed of nine digit numbers, having only three digits at the end, and they do not satisfy the condition of being divided by eleven.
