National ID verification libs

This project in early phase. We might change the interface. Please wait our changelogs for more information.

Verify National IDs

All modules under nationalid package support the validate function.

from idnumbers.nationalid import AUS, NGA, ZAF

# verify AUS tax file number (with checksum code)
AUS.TaxFileNumber.validate('32547689')

# verify AUS driver license number
AUS.DriverLicenseNumber.validate('12 345 678')

# verify AUS Medicare number (with checksum code)
AUS.MedicareNumber.validate('2123 45670 1')

# verify NGA national id number
NGA.NationalID.validate('12345678901')

# verify ZAF nation id number
ZAF.NationalID.validate('7605300675088')

Parse National IDs

Some modules whose METADATA.parsable == true support the parse function. It unpacks the detail data from the national id.

from idnumbers.nationalid import ZAF

assert ZAF.NationalID.METADATA.parsable == True
# parse the national id
id_data = ZAF.NationalID.parse('7605300675088')
# access the date of birth, gender, and citizenship
print(id_data['yyyymmdd'])
print(id_data['gender'])
print(id_data['citizenship'])
