Social security number

Do you know if the social security number Is it correct? With our tool you can calculate the control digits of your affiliation number, i.e. by entering the first 10 digits of your social security number we will calculate the remaining digits.

If the check digits match those of the social security number you have, then it is valid. Otherwise, you will need to look on your health card for the correct number.

¿What the social security number looks like? For example, let's imagine that our social security number is 121234567821:

• The first two digits refer to the code of the province that issued the affiliation number (NAF).
• The next eight digits (seven if you have the old format) is a sequential number that the Social Security Administration generates automatically when someone registers for the first time.
• The last two digits are the control digits and are used to verify that the written numerical sequence is correct. In the social security number we have used as an example we see that the check digits should be 05 so the number would be wrong.
