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.
