This library supports the validation and generation of M-series NRIC numbers.

You can also use these pages on my website to generate or validate manually.

import NRIC from 'singapore-nric';

const n = new NRIC('S1234567D');

Property	Type	Description
value	string	entire value of NRIC
firstchar	string	first character
identifier	string	last four alphanumeric characters
checksum	string	checksum (last character)
isCorrectFormat	boolean	format is valid
isValid	boolean	checksum is valid

Examples

n.value;           // 'S1234567D'
n.firstchar;       // 'S'
n.identifier;      // '567D'
n.checksum;        // 'D'
n.isCorrectFormat; // true
n.isValid;         // true

Static Methods

Validate( nric )

Validate a single NRIC, or an array of NRIC strings

@param {string|string[]|NRIC|NRIC[]} nric - (single or array of) NRIC strings or NRIC instances
@returns {boolean} - true if all are valid NRICs

NRIC.Validate('S1234567D');  // true
NRIC.Validate([ 'S1234567D', 'S1234567D' ]);  // true

Generate( firstchar? )

Returns a random NRIC with valid checksum

@param {string} firstchar - (optional) set first character
@returns {NRIC} - NRIC number

NRIC.Generate().value;     // e.g.: 'S1234567D'
NRIC.Generate('M').value;  // e.g.: 'M1235467X'

GenerateMany( amount )

Generate an array of NRICs with valid checksum

@param {number} amount - number to generate
@returns {NRIC[]} - an array of NRIC numbers

const nrics = NRIC.GenerateMany(3);  // e.g.: [ NRIC, NRIC, NRIC ]
nrics[0].value; // e.g.: 'S1234567D'
