message: *the "checksum" term when reffering to romania is unnapropriate. there is no such a thing as checksum, thus I tagged it as original research. Please consider my email address if argue troianii@gmail.com or use phone +040742101423.
*number 4 when reffering to Bucharest is also not true. 4 or 40 is the telephone association CC|TT country alloc public phone extension within europe (read Romania@itu e-123 & e-164. and  true Bucharst telephone extension is 021 or 031 depending on the network.

message: I removed the bit that suggested the last 4 digits may denote the blood type as this is exceedingly unlikely. I have no idea what my blood type even though I'm 24 is nor do I suspect many 12 year old kids when they get their ICs/MyKads (although in my case I could probably work out based on my siblings who do know and I should be able to find out my fathers). It's not something you provide on the form so it's rather unlikely the government will know either. They could in some cases work out from the parents but not all cases (and that's assuming they know the blood type of the parents) Nil Einne 12:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't know if Japan has anything like a national identification number, but most people do have a personal seal (a hanko) which is usually custom made and is registered with the government. Any kind of official form requires your personal seal.
This is a big issue in Japan.  It would be really good to add a Japanese section to this article.  Japan does not have a national ID number, and this has for decades allowed wealthy Japanese to cheat the income tax laws by creating multiple bank accounts at different banks, none of which individually have enough balance to cause taxable interest.  I think the lack of a national ID also enables criminality in many other ways with regard to bank accounts, notably contributions to politicians.  I don't think there is any law against using multiple hanko (seals), as long as you use the same one at the same bank, so this does not serve the purpose of a national ID.  The lack of a national ID in Japan, and its financial criminality implications, are another one of those mysterious parts of Japan which remain unexplained to the general public and to foreign countries.  It is a dark area of the Japanese social system, and it would be good for Wikipedia to shed some light on it.  --Westwind273 (talk) 05:05, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

message: :It has been said that a number of foreign tourists to Sweden were even asked to provide their personnummer to receive certain services and that is ridiculous.

replies: text: It is a fact that the "personnummer" is used in the medical care to keep track of the patients. Patients in medical care should not be mismatched, that is a medical hazard. Therefore the "personnummer" is always asked for. One should be able to get medical care as a foreign tourist anyway, either as a EU citizen of with a medical travel insurance, but they will ask. To open a bank account the "personnummer" is absolutely needed, plus a Swedish identity document with the "personnummer" on. I don't know if tourists need that. It would be nice to know what the bold text above refers to.-- BIL (talk) 23:07, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

message: "the small population means a name and date of birth can usually uniquely identify someone"
This isn't really true, and I think this misleading claim should be removed. Linking data sets based on name & date of birth runs into all sorts of problems and the quality of the linkage can vary widely depending on the quality of the data. To get a sense of some of the problems, refer to the article on record linkage. e.g. are Bill Jones, William M. Jones and Will Jones Snr the same person?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.204.89 (talk) 09:35, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I'm just wondering if the "or JMBG/EMBG" in the head of this article is actually relevant to English-language Wikipedia. I don't see these terms used in English ever, even when talking about the countries that use them. "Unique master citizen number" or "citizen identification number" both appear much more frequently, and they're not on there. I'm just wondering if leaving the non-English acronyms on English Wikipedia might just make people more confused, especially considering that the meaning of the acronyms does not appear in the article's head. ~Asheiou (talk) (they/them)  01:59, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
