Identifiers

Key identification types, such as VAT numbers, tax IDs, or business registration numbers, are outlined here. These identifiers are vital for cross-border transactions, tax reporting, and compliance with national and international regulations.

 Technical keyDescription
Board of Trade Registration Number (United Kingdom)WR_BTRNThe Department for International Trade (DIT) is a United Kingdom government department responsible for striking and extending trade agreements between the United Kingdom and non EU states (however the UK Government is not legally permitted to negotiate any trade deals with third party countries before it has exited the EU).
Business partner/identifier/type/GB/UK DRV LICUK_DRV_LICThe UK driver's license number is a unique identifier assigned to each driver by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). The UK driver's license number typically follows this 18-character structure:
  • First 5 characters: First five letters of the surname (padded with the number 9 if the surname has fewer than five characters).
  • Next character (6th): Represents the decade of birth (e.g., '8' for 1980s).
  • Following 5 digits (7th to 11th): Encodes the date of birth in the format MMDDY:
    • MM: Birth month (female drivers add 5 to the first digit, making January range from 51 to 62).
    • DD: Day of birth.
    • Y: Last digit of the birth year.
  • Two letters or digits (12th to 13th): Additional characters, often an issue number or other identifier.
  • Last 5 characters (14th to 18th): Numeric sequence, with a check digit to ensure validity.
Business partner/identifier/type/GB/UK NHS IDUK_NHS_IDThe National Health Service (NHS) Number in the UK is a unique identifier used within the NHS to identify individuals for health records and services. The NHS Number is used across the UK’s healthcare system to accurately link patients to their health records, enabling continuity of care. It is typically issued upon first registration with a GP or another NHS service. It is a ten-digit number issued to everyone registered with the NHS, and it follows a specific format with a check digit to ensure accuracy.

The NHS Number has the following structure: Ten digits, written in the format 123 456 7890.

  • Digits 1–9: The first nine digits are a unique sequence.
  • Digit 10: The last digit is a check digit, calculated using a weighted modulus 11 algorithm on the first nine digits.
The check digit (last digit) is calculated using a weighted system, where each of the first nine digits is multiplied by a specific weight (from 10 down to 2). The sum of these products is divided by 11, and the remainder is subtracted from 11 to produce the check digit. If the result is 10, the NHS number is invalid.
