be-nrn

Belgian NRN (National Registry Number) utility functions.

Quick start

import { getAge } from 'be-nrn';
 
getAge('860814 000 00'); // => 32 (at time of writing)

API

NOTE: All NRN input strings are normalized

getAge(nrn: string, options): number

Get the age of a citizen's NRN.

getAge('860814 000 00'); // => 32 (at time of writing)

Age calculation is based on midnight in the Brussels timezone, regardless of the timezone in which the code is run.

options

• comparisonDate: Date – get the age on a specific date

getBirthDate(nrn: string): Date

Get the birth date of a citizen's NRN.

getBirthDate('860814 000 00'); // => 1986-08-13T22:00:00.000Z

The birth date's time is set to midnight in the Brussels timezone, regardless of the timezone in which the code is run.

isBiologicalFemale(nrn: string): boolean

Determine if the biological birth gender of a citizen's NRN is female.

isBiologicalFemale('860814 000 00'); // => true

isBiologicalMale(nrn: string): boolean

Determine if the biological birth gender of a citizen's NRN is male.

isBiologicalMale('860814 001 00'); // => true

isBirthDateKnown(nrn: string): boolean

Determine if the birthdate is known. Is is possible (eg. for migrated people) to have an unknown date of birth.

isBirthdateKnown('860814 001 00'); // => true
isBirthdateKnown('002000 001 00'); // => false

isBisNumber(nrn: string): boolean

Determine if an NRN number is also a BIS number.

isBisNumber('860814 001 00'); // => false
isBisNumber('862814 001 00'); // => true

isEqual(nrn1: string, nrn2: string): boolean

Compare two NRN's for equality.

isEqual('860814 000 00', '86.08.14-000.00'); // => true

isGenderKnown(nrn: string): boolean

Determine if the gender is known. Is is possible (eg. for migrated people) to have an unknown gender.

isGenderKnown('860814 000 00'); // => true
isGenderKnown('862814 000 00'); // => false
isGenderKnown('864814 000 00'); // => true

isLegalAdult(nrn: string): boolean

Determine if a citizen is legal adult.

isLegalAdult('860814 000 00'); // => true

normalize(nrn: string): string

Used internally for normalizing nrn strings. All we do is remove non-numeric characters.

normalize('86.08.14-000.84'); // => 86081400084
normalize('860814 000 84'); // => 86081400084

parse(nrn: string): Nrn

Used internally for parsing nrn strings. The resulting object can be used as input for all other functions.

parse('86.08.14-000.84');
// => { birthDate: '860814', serial: '000', checksum: '84' }
