IRD Number: what each part means

000-000-00 Eight-digit base number assigned sequentially by Inland Revenue; no personal data is encoded.
0 Check digit: the base weighted 3,2,7,6,5,4,3,2 mod 11; if that yields 10, a secondary weight set is applied, and bases that still yield 10 are never issued.

Validation regex

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

^\d{9}$

Common questions

Will these pass my validation?

Yes — they are well-formed IRD Number values (000-000-000) and pass standard format checks, including the Weighted 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.
