Unique Master Citizen Number

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unique Master Citizen Number (Croatian: Jedinstveni matični broj građana, acronym JMBG, Serbian: Јединствени матични број грађана, acronym ЈМБГ, Macedonian: Единствен матичен број на граѓанинот, acronym ЕМБГ, Slovene: Enotna matična številka občana, acronym EMŠO) is 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 and alive at the time. It is still in use today in the six countries formed from the former Yugoslav republics.

Since 2002, in Croatia this number is called MBG or Matični broj građana (Master Citizen Number). As of 2009 the JMBG/MBG will be replaced by the so-called Personal identification number which will consist of 11 randomly chosen digits. It will be assigned to all Croatian citizens, companies registered in Croatia and foreign nationals residing in Croatia.[1]

[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)

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 DDMMYYYRRBBBK = 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)

Note: in the early nineties, there was a small number of valid JMBGs assigned which had invalid checksum. Also, there are a few duplicate JMBGs in existence. However, the chances of running into those exceptions are low and usually don't justify not using JMBG as unique identifier.

[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).
