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. - Personal data (PII): yes - Categories: Personally identifiable information (pii), Person related (persons), Finances and banking (finances) - Countries: Netherlands (NL) - Languages: Dutch (nl) - Classification: identifier ## Detection Regular expression (Python `re`): ``` ^\d{8,9}$ ``` Check digit algorithm: `nl_bsn` ## Examples - `999990068` — Test person of the RvIG test environment - `999994931` — Test person of the RvIG test environment - `999999990` — Personal number on the RvIG specimen passport of 2014 - `999990069` (invalid example) — The RvIG test number 999990068 with a wrong last digit - `9999900681` (invalid example) — Ten digits ## Mappings - dpv: `pd:OfficialID` - fhir: `http://fhir.nl/fhir/NamingSystem/bsn` - fta: `IDENTITY.BSN_NL` - google_dlp: `NETHERLANDS_BSN_NUMBER` - purview: `Netherlands citizens service (BSN) number`, `Netherlands tax identification number`, `EU national identification number`, `EU Tax Identification Number (TIN)`, `EU Tax identification number` - stdnum: `nl.bsn` ## Metacrafter rules 2 rules: 1 match the field name, 1 match values. - `nlbsnfield` (field, `nl/nl_tax.yaml`) - `nlbsnvalue` (data, `nl/nl_tax.yaml`) ## Supported by tools - `awsglue` - `azureailanguage` - `databricks` - `dataprep` - `fta` - `googledlp` - `ibmguardium` - `metacrafter` - `microsoftpurview` - `pythonstdnum` - `snowflake` ## Translations - nl: Burgerservicenummer (BSN): Persoonsnummer van iedereen die in de BRP is ingeschreven; negen cijfers die aan de elfproef voldoen.
