"""VID (Indian personal virtual identity number).

VID is a temporary, revocable 16-digit random number mapped with the Aadhaar number.
VID is used in lieu of Aadhaar number whenever authentication or e-KYC services
are performed.

VID is made up of 16 digits where the last digits is a check digit
calculated using the Verhoeff algorithm. The numbers are generated in a
random, non-repeating sequence and do not begin with 0 or 1.
