How Our ID Generator Works
Algorithmically Correct, Ethically Generated Every South African ID number follows a specific structure. Our tool replicates this without using real data—here’s the technical breakdown:
Step-by-Step Generation
1. You Provide Input
- Select a birthdate (or let us randomize it)
- Choose gender (Male/Female)
- Toggle citizenship (Citizen/Resident)
- Specify quantity (1 to 500)
2. We Generate IDs
Our system:
- Calculates the correct century (1900s/2000s) from the birth year
- Applies the gender and citizenship rules
- Generates random but unique sequence numbers
- Computes the checksum for validity
Why It’s Safe
- No Real Data: Every ID is synthetic
- No Storage: We don’t save generated IDs.
⚠ Reminder: Never use generated IDs for real identification.
