DatatypePersonal data (PII)identifier

Burgerservicenummer (BSN), the personal number of everyone registered in the Dutch population register (BRP). It replaced the sofinummer in 2007 and keeps its numbers. The government uses it to identify a person in contacts with public bodies, the tax service, healthcare and education. The Rijksdienst voor Identiteitsgegevens (RvIG) issues the numbers, which carry no information about the person. A BSN has nine digits and passes the 11-proef (elfproef). The first eight digits are weighted 9 down to 2 and the last one -1, and the sum must be divisible by 11. Systems that store it as a number drop the leading zero, so 8-digit values occur; they are checked with the zero restored.
