- How is the check digit calculated?
- The province is joined to the eight-digit sequence, and the remainder of dividing that whole number by 97 is taken. The result, with two digits, is the check.
- Which provinces does the tool accept?
- It accepts codes from 01 to 52. Any other code, such as 00 or 53, is rejected with an unknown province message.
- Are the generated numbers real?
- No. They are test data with a correct structure and check, but they do not belong to real people, although one may match by chance.
- Is anything sent to a server?
- No. Numbers are generated and computed in your browser, and nothing is stored or placed in the URL.
