Unique Master Citizen Number (Bosnian: Jedinstveni matični broj građana, acronym JMBG, Croatian: Jedinstveni matični broj građana, acronym JMBG, Serbian: Јединствени матични број грађана, acronym ЈМБГ, Macedonian: Единствен матичен број на граѓанинот, acronym ЕМБГ, Montenegrin: Jedinstveni matični broj građana/Јединствени матични број грађана, acronym JMBG, Slovene: Enotna matična številka občana, acronym EMŠO) was a unique identification number that was assigned to every citizen of former Yugoslav republics of the SFR Yugoslavia. Today it continues to be used in all of the countries that were created after the dissolution of Yugoslavia – Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia (Vojvodina separately) and Slovenia. Only Croatia has since started switching to a different scheme, but most of its citizens still have and use this number.

[edit] History

The JMBG was introduced in January 8, 1977[1] and applied to all citizens born before then and alive at the time. Each of the eight federal units of SFRY passed a law on the Unique Master Citizen Number.

Although the Republic of Croatia continued to use the JMBG after the independence[2] in 2002 the official name of the number there was changed to Matični broj građana (Master Citizen Number), acronym MBG[3][4] Advocates of the right to privacy argued that JMBG was a piece of personally identifiable information that needed to be protected by information privacy law, mostly because it was unique and it included the person's date of birth. When the law to that effect was passed in 2003[5] it was no longer possible to use JMBG on identity cards, driver's licenses and similar documents. On January 1, 2009 Croatia passed a new law[6] that introduced a different unique identifier called the Personal Identification Number (Croatian: Osobni identifikacijski broj, acronym OIB). The OIB consists of 11 randomly chosen digits and has been assigned to all Croatian citizens, companies registered in Croatia and foreign nationals residing in Croatia [7].

[edit] Composition

The number is made up of 13 digits in a form "DD MM YYY RR BBB K" (whitespaces are for convenience; digits are written without separation) where:

DD – day of birth
MM – month of birth
YYY – last three digits of the year of birth
RR – political region [8] of birth (for persons born before 1976, political region where they were first registered)

BBB – unique number of the particular RR (represents a person within the DDMMYYYRR section in the particular municipality)
K - checksum

[edit] Checksum calculation

The checksum is calculated from the mapping DDMMYYYRRBBBK = abcdefghijklm, using the formula:

m = 11 − (( 7*(a+g) + 6*(b+h) + 5*(c+i) + 4*(d+j) + 3*(e+k) + 2*(f+l) ) mod 11)
  • If m is between 1 and 9, the number K is the same as the number m
  • If m is 10, K can not be calculated (e.g. some of first 12 characters are not correct)
  • If m is 11, K becomes 0 (zero)

Note: in the early nineties, there was a small number of valid JMBGs assigned which had invalid checksum. Also, there are a few duplicate JMBGs in existence. However, the chances of running into those exceptions are low and usually don't justify not using JMBG as unique identifier.

[edit] Microsoft Excel formula

  • A1 - data (first 12 digits stored as text)
  • B1 - checksum calculation
  • C1 - full number with checksum
B1 =11-(MOD(((7*(MID(A1,1,1)+MID(A1,7, 1)))
            +(6*(MID(A1,2,1)+MID(A1,8, 1)))
            +(5*(MID(A1,3,1)+MID(A1,9, 1)))
            +(4*(MID(A1,4,1)+MID(A1,10,1)))
            +(3*(MID(A1,5,1)+MID(A1,11,1)))
            +(2*(MID(A1,6,1)+MID(A1,12,1)))),11))

C1 =CONCATENATE(A1,IF(B1<10,B1,0))

[edit] Example

As an example, a valid identification number is 1707017170007; it will be the number of the first male baby registered in Sarajevo on July 17, 2017 (if the system would be still in use).
