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 India, people have PANs (Personal Account Numbers) whicch is directly related to their Income Tax file. It's not an obligatory thing, so obviously many people don't get it, so they can cheat on income taxes (someday I intend to write a series of books on corruption in India). But nowadays more and more people need to fill in their PANs on forms, say for opening an account with a bank, etc. Then you also have passport, voter's identification card, etc. But there is nothing which all the Indians have in common.

In Denmark we have the CPR number - "Central People Registry" loosely translated. It consist of your 6 digits with your birthday and a random 4 digit code. Girls get a number divideable by two, and boys... well the opposite. I do not know whart they do with hermaphrodites. Christian Skovdal Andersen Don't mention the war...

In Italy we have an ID-Card (carta d'identità) that has a unique code and also a code made from name, date of birth, place of residence generated by our version of the "IRS". -- Looking for a new screen-saver? Try FOYD: http://digilander.iol.it/FOYD
