Unique Master Citizen Number

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unique Master Citizen Number (Serbo-Croatian: Jedinstveni Matični Broj Građana / Јединствени Матични Број Грађана, acronym JMBG / ЈМБГ, Macedonian: Единствен матичен број на граѓанинот, acronym ЕМБГ, Slovene: Enotna matična številka občana, acronym EMŠO) was a unique identification number that was assigned at birth to every citizen of former Yugoslavia.

The JMBG was introduced in 1976 and applied to all citizens born before then alive at the time. It is still in use today in the six countries formed from the former Yugoslav republics.

[edit] Composition

The number is made up of 13 digits in a form "DD MM YYY RR BBB K" (whitespaces are for convenience; digits are written without separation) where:

DD – day of birth

MM – month of birth

YYY – last three digits of the year of birth

RR – political region of birth (for persons born before 1976, political region where they were first registered)

  • 00-09 – foreign citizens *without* citizenship of former Yugoslavia or succeeding countries (foreign citizens that receive citizenship also receive a 'regular' JMBG, not this 'foreigners only' one)

11 - Bihac
12 - Doboj
13 - Gorazde
14 - Livno
15 - Mostar

17 - Sarajevo
18 - Tuzla
19 - Zenica
30 - Osijek, Slavonija region
31 - Bjelovar, Virovitica, Koprivnica, Pakrac, Podravina region
32 - Varaždin, Međimurje region
33 - Zagreb
34 - Karlovac
35 - Gospić, Lika region

  • 90-99 – Serbian province of Kosovo

BBB – unique number (usually representing the entry number in the registrar of births)

K - checksum

[edit] Checksum calculation

The checksum is calculated from the mapping DDMMGGGRRBBBK = abcdefghijklm, using the formula:

m = 11 –- (( 7*(a+g) + 6*(b+h) + 5*(c+i) + 4*(d+j) + 3*(e+k) + 2*(f+l) ) mod 11)
  • If m is between 1 and 9, the number K is the same as the number m
  • If m is 10, K can not be calculated (e.g. some of first 12 characters are not correct)
  • If m is 11, K becomes 0 (zero)

[edit] Microsoft Excel formula

A1 - data (first 12 digits stored as text)
B1 - checksum calculation
C1 - full number with checksum

B1 =11-(MOD(((7*(MID(A1,1,1)+MID(A1,7, 1)))
            +(6*(MID(A1,2,1)+MID(A1,8, 1)))
            +(5*(MID(A1,3,1)+MID(A1,9, 1)))
            +(4*(MID(A1,4,1)+MID(A1,10,1)))
            +(3*(MID(A1,5,1)+MID(A1,11,1)))
            +(2*(MID(A1,6,1)+MID(A1,12,1)))),11))
C1 =CONCATENATE(A1,IF(B1<10,B1,0))

[edit] Example

As an example, a valid identification number is 0101100710006; it will be the number of the first male baby registered in Belgrade on January 1, 2100 (if the system is still in use).
