Number of a Belgian electronic identity card (eID), issued to Belgian citizens aged 12 and over. It identifies the card, not the person, and changes with every new card; the national register number (benatcardid) printed on the same card identifies the person. It has 12 digits written as 000-0011032-71. The last two are the remainder of the first ten divided by 97, or 97 when the remainder is 0. Residence cards of foreigners use other formats (a B and nine digits for citizens of the EU, EEA and Switzerland, nine digits for others) and are not covered. Google Sensitive Data Protection detects it as BELGIUM_NATIONAL_ID_CARD_NUMBER.
