Fødselsnummer: what each part means

000000 Date of birth as DDMMYY.
000 Individual number: its range combined with the year encodes the century, and on real numbers the last of these digits is odd for men and even for women. Test values use random digits.
0 First MOD-11 control digit (weights 3,7,6,1,8,9,4,5,2 over the first nine digits).
0 Second MOD-11 control digit (weights 5,4,3,2,7,6,5,4,3,2 over the first ten). Combinations needing a control of 10 are never issued.

Validation regex

Matches the canonical value — strip separators and uppercase first: value.replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9]/g, '').toUpperCase()

^\d{11}$

Common questions

Will these pass my validation?

Yes — they are well-formed Fødselsnummer values (000000 000 00) and pass standard format checks, including the Double MOD 11 checksum.

Could one belong to a real person?

These are synthetic values. They are format-valid but not drawn from a guaranteed reserved range, so use them only for testing.

Can I generate many at once?

Increase the count, or use the free API and CSV/JSON export for large datasets.
