How is the Egyptian National ID structured?

The 14 digits are a century marker (2 for 1900–1999, 3 for 2000–2099), date of birth as YYMMDD, a 2-digit governorate code, a 4-digit birth-order serial whose last digit encodes gender (odd = male, even = female), and a final check digit.

Why is the check digit not verified?

Egypt has not published an official check-digit algorithm for the 14th digit. This tool therefore decodes the documented structure and validates the embedded date and century, but it cannot confirm the final check digit.

Is my National ID sent anywhere?

No. The decoder is privacy-first. All processing happens locally in your browser with no network requests — your National ID never leaves your device and is never checked against any government database.

Egypt National ID Decoder — Date of Birth, Governorate & Gender

Egypt National ID decoder

Decode a 14-digit Egyptian National ID (الرقم القومي). The tool reads the century marker (2 = born 1900–1999, 3 = born 2000–2099), the date of birth, the governorate of birth, the birth-order serial and the gender (the 13th digit is odd for male, even for female), with Arabic labels alongside English.

The 14th digit is a check digit, but Egypt has not published its algorithm, so the tool validates the date and century only.

Privacy-first: everything runs in your browser with no network requests. The decoder only interprets the structure — it does not check the number against any government database.
