National Registration Number generator (Zimbabwe)

A Zimbabwean national registration number is a two-digit registration-office code, a six- or seven-digit serial, a MOD-23 check letter, and a two-digit district-of-origin code, formatted like 63-123456-A-12. These test values are synthetic but carry a valid check letter.

National Registration Number: what each part means

00 Registrar General’s office where the number was registered (e.g. 63 = Harare, 08 = Bulawayo).
0000000 Sequential serial (six or seven digits; these test values use seven).
A Check letter: the office code and serial read as one number, mod 23, mapped through ZABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXY (I, O and U are never used).
00 District of origin, traditionally inherited from the father (00 has been used for foreign nationals). Test values use random codes.

Validation regex

Common questions

Will these pass my validation?

Yes — they are well-formed National Registration Number values (00-0000000-A-00) and pass standard format checks, including the MOD 23 letter 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.
