RSA ID Numbers

RSA ID Numbers is a .NET library for working with South African ID numbers. It can generate and validate South African ID numbers.

Installation

RSA ID Numbers can be installed via NuGet. Run the following command in the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package RSAIdNumbers

Usage

Validating an ID Number

To validate a South African ID number, use the RSAIdValidator class:

using RsaIdNumbers;

bool isValid = RSAIdValidator.IsValidSAID("7201014800087");

// Optionally specify the Y2K century cutoff (default: 25).
// Two-digit years <= cutoff are treated as 2000s, otherwise 1900s.
bool isValid2 = RSAIdValidator.IsValidSAID("2601014800088", centuryCutoff: 30);

Generating a Valid ID Number

To generate a valid South African ID number, use the RSAIdGenerator class:

using RsaIdNumbers;

// Generate an ID with default parameters
string id = RSAIdGenerator.GenerateValidSAID();

// Generate an ID with specific parameters
DateTime birthDate = new DateTime(1990, 5, 15);
bool isFemale = true;
bool isCitizen = true;
string customId = RSAIdGenerator.GenerateValidSAID(birthDate, isFemale, isCitizen);

Command-Line Usage

The RsaIdNumbers.ConsoleApp application uses the RSA ID Numbers library and provides the following commands:

  • Generate an ID:

    dotnet run generate [birthdate:yyyy-MM-dd] [gender:male|female] [citizenship:citizen|non-citizen]
    

    Example:

    dotnet run generate 1990-05-15 female citizen
    
    • birthdate: The date of birth in yyyy-MM-dd format. If omitted, a random date within the last 75 years is used.
    • gender: Specify male or female. Defaults to female if omitted.
    • citizenship: Specify citizen or non-citizen. Defaults to citizen if omitted.
  • Validate an ID:

    dotnet run validate <id>
    

    Example:

    dotnet run validate 7201014800087
    
    • <id>: The South African ID number to validate.
