    As many here may or may not know, US citizens have a unique ID associated with them called a social security number. I believe Candians have something similar. Do EC countries have unique numbers for their citizens or does each individual country have something specific to that country? What about Asia? Inquiring minds...

      In the UK we have a national insurance number that is unique to us. It's what the tax man uses to take our national insurance contributions out of our pay packets. I guess it is similar to the ss number in the states. Michael "I've died for a living in the movies and tv.

      Thanks Michael! Is that something that everyone is required to have? By the way, is the number unique across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland? Cheers, Tom Archer Author - Inside C#, Visual C++.NET Bible

        South Africans are given ID books. Once you have an ID book you are allowed to live and work there permanently. :cool: In the old days our drivers licenses were stamped in the books. Now we get seperate cards, which need to be reapplied for each 5 years. An easy way for the government to make some extra cash. :suss:

            Thanks Megan. These ID books - do all South Africans have them? Forgive my ignorance of South Africa, but seems from what you said that not only is this process new but only employed people have them. What percentage of people (ball park, of course) would say have these numbers? Also, when you reapply each five years, do you get a new number?

              I have Social Services Cards with an RSI number and a SSC Number. Basically the same thing. Our RSI number would be comparable to your Social Security Number and the SSC number is the Social Security Card Number. Regards, Brian Dela :-)

                        We have the "Social Insurance Number" (SIN) up here in Canada. It's (as far as i can tell), the same thing as the SS number in the US, except with a different name. :-D That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig. [Christopher Duncan on how to prevent yourself from ending up in a sig]

                                          As many here may or may not know, US citizens have a unique ID associated with them called a social security number. I believe Candians have something similar. Do EC countries have unique numbers for their citizens or does each individual country have something specific to that country? What about Asia? Inquiring minds... Cheers, Tom Archer Author - Inside C#, Visual C++.NET Bible

                                          In India, you can get a passport number. But then, many people in India do not have passports.
