🔐 Validation Algorithms Reference

Luhn Algorithm

Used for: SIRET, SIREN, Partita IVA, Swedish Personal Number, and others

Commonly used for credit card numbers and financial identifiers. Detects single-digit errors.

Modulo 97 (ISO 7064)

Used for: IBAN, NIR (France), NSS (France/Spain), AHV (Switzerland/Liechtenstein)

Stronger than Luhn. Used for international financial standards and government ID numbers.

Modulo 10 / Modulo 11

Used for: German Steuer-ID, Swiss UID, Austrian Tax Numbers

Simple weighted sum validation. Country-specific implementations.

Country-Specific Algorithms

Used for: NIF (Spain), Codice Fiscale (Italy), NIF (Portugal)

Unique algorithms designed by each country. Require specialized validation logic.

Regex Pattern Matching

Used for: License Plates, Passport Numbers, Vehicle Registrations

Format validation without mathematical checksum. Fast pattern-based detection.
