JMBG

A go library to parse the Serbian JMBG (Jedinstveni Matični Broj Građana), or UMCN (Unique Master Citizen Number)

Explanation

The number that the government of Serbia assigns to its citizens is not random and is made up of the following information:

• A person's date of birth
• Which region of the country they were born in
• The sex they were assigned at birth
• A single digit checksum for error detection

type (
	JMBG struct {
		Number      string
		Digits      [13]uint
		DateOfBirth time.Time
		Region      region.Region
		Sex         sex.Sex
		Checksum    checksum.Checksum
	}
)

This library attempts to make it simple to extract this information out of a string representation of this number.
