- 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.
