Tell me how to check for valid South african ID numbers. Are there checksums? It starts with yymmdd so at least you know that 009999 is an invalid start. Write a list of all things that can be considered
ASSISTANT

Valid South African ID numbers follow a specific format and contain a few checks that can be used to determine their validity. Here is a list of things you can consider when checking the validity of a South African ID number:


Length: A valid South African ID number should be 13 digits long.


Birthdate: The first six digits should represent the birthdate of the person in the format YYMMDD. This means that an ID number starting with "009999" would be invalid as you mentioned.


Gender: The 7th to 9th digits indicate the gender of the person. A value of 0000-4999 represents a female, while 5000-9999 represents a male.


Citizenship: The 10th digit represents citizenship. A value of 0 indicates a South African citizen, while 1 indicates a permanent resident.


11th and 12th digits: These are sequential numbers for applicants with the same birthdate and gender.


Checksum: The 13th digit is a checksum calculated using the Luhn algorithm. To verify the checksum:
a. Double the value of every second digit from the right (i.e., the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th digits).
b. If doubling any digit results in a two-digit number, add the two digits together to get a single-digit result.
c. Add the results from step (b) together with the remaining (non-doubled) digits.
d. Calculate the remainder when the sum from step (c) is divided by 10.
e. If the remainder is 0, the checksum digit should be 0. Otherwise, the checksum digit should be 10 minus the remainder.


For example, consider the ID number 8001015009087:

Length: 13 digits
Birthdate: 1980-01-01
Gender: Male (5009)
Citizenship: South African citizen (0)
11th and 12th digits: 09
Checksum: (8+0+0+2+1+2+5+1+0+18+0+16) % 10 = 53 % 10 = 3; Checksum = 10 - 3 = 7; Matches the last digit, so it's valid.

By checking each of these components, you can determine the validity of a South African ID number.

Here's a single VBA function implementing the provided Python code. Please note that VBA does not support Enums, so the Gender and Citizenship Enums are replaced with their respective string values:
Function IsValidSouthAfricanID(IDNumber As String) As Boolean

This VBA function takes an ID number as input and returns True if the ID number is valid, otherwise it returns False. It checks for length, date of birth, gender, citizenship, and Luhn checksum.

is this a valid ID?
8905141372087
ASSISTANT

To check if the given South African ID number (8905141372087) is valid, let's go through the checks:

Length: 13 digits
Birthdate: 1989-05-14
Gender: Female (1372 falls between 0000 and 4999)
Citizenship: South African citizen (0)
11th and 12th digits: 20
Checksum:
a. Doubled digits: 12=2, 02=0, 72=14 (1+4=5), 12=2, 92=18 (1+8=9), 82=16 (1+6=7)
b. Sum of the results with the non-doubled digits: 2+8+0+5+1+4+2+1+9+3+7 = 42
c. Calculate the remainder when the sum is divided by 10: 42 % 10 = 2
d. Checksum digit: 10 - 2 = 8

The checksum digit (8) matches the last digit of the given ID number (8905141372087). Therefore, this ID number is valid.
