Your national identification number (national ID-number, personal code or ID-code) is a unique 11-digit number assigned by the state and used for identification purposes in all Baltic Countries.
The identity number is printed on all of your national identification documents, such as your ID-card, passport, residents permit etc. It is usually either next to or below your name or your birth date. Look for a number with 11 digits containing your birthday in a year-month-date or date-month-year format. For example, if you are born on 30th of October 1980, look for a number containing 801030 (in Estonia and Lithuania) or a number containing 301080 (in Latvia). As of 1st of July 2017, Latvia assigns new personal codes that start with “32” and do not contain birth date!

Most common names for national identification numbers are personal code or ID-code or ID-number; personal identification code; social security number; national insurance number; state tax code; tax file number; national identity number; registration number; social insurance number; personal number etc.
