* How are codes for counties allocated?

JJ component is using the counties codes as specified in SIRUTA nomenclature, issued and maintained by National Institute of Statistics.


* The specification mentions that S component can have a value in the range of 1 - 8. 9 is missing!

No, its not missing. The number that starts with a 9 (nine) it is a Tax Identification Number (en: TIN ; ro: NIF), not a C.N.P.

The confusion comes from the fact that both C.N.P. and NIF have a length of 13 (thirteen) characters, but all NIF's start with a 9 (nine).


* Where are sequences like 80 and 81 from the JJ component included in legislation ?

Following a request that I addressed to the General Directorate for Personal Records, asking them to clarify the existence of C.N.P.s that have sequences such as 48, 49, 80, 81, 82 and 83 in the JJ component, I received the following information:

Regarding the sequences mentioned in your request, we inform you of the following aspects:

  1. Currently, Personal Identification Number (C.N.P.) are generated with a sequence between "01-47", respectively "51-52", but also the sequence "70" for C.N.P.s automatically generated through S.I.I.E.A.S.C;

  2. Currently, C.N.Ps with sequences 50, 54, 56, 60, 64, 78, 84, 87, 88, 90, 98, 99 can be found (unfortunately, they did not specify what each sequence represents and/or if it represents anything)

  3. Regarding the JJ component within the C.N.Ps allocated for registrations made at the level of diplomatic missions and career consular offices of Romania abroad, we specify that it can have the value 80, 81, 82 or 83.

Regarding sequences such as 48, 49, 53, 55, other than those highlighted above, we inform you that no C.N.Ps have been and are not being generated that include these sequences.


* How can I cite this specification ?
