## Overview

The ID Card Validator is a precise utility designed to verify the structural integrity and format of national identification numbers across various countries. By performing checksum calculations and pattern analysis, this tool helps you confirm whether an ID number adheres to the official standards of its respective issuing nation.

## Inputs

- **ID Number** (text): Enter ID number to validate...
- **Country** (select)

## When to use

- When you need to verify the format of a national ID number before submitting it to a database.
- When performing data cleaning to identify potentially mistyped or invalid identification entries.
- When you need to extract metadata, such as birth date or region codes, embedded within an ID number.

## How it works

- Select the target country from the dropdown menu to apply the correct validation algorithm.
- Enter the identification number into the input field.
- Click the validate button to trigger the checksum and format analysis.
- Review the output for a confirmation of validity and a breakdown of the encoded information.

## Use cases

- Validating user input in registration forms to prevent typos.
- Auditing large datasets to flag incorrectly formatted identification numbers.
- Extracting demographic data like birth dates from ID numbers for internal reporting.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does this tool store my ID information?

No, this tool performs all validations locally in your browser and does not store or transmit your data to any server.

### Can this tool verify if an ID is currently active?

No, this tool only validates the structural format and checksum of the ID number; it cannot check government databases for active status.

### Which countries are supported?

We support major national ID formats including China, the United States, India, the UK, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Australia, France, and Canada.

### Is the validation result 100% accurate?

The tool accurately validates the mathematical structure and format. However, it cannot determine if a number has been officially issued or revoked by the government.

### What format is the output?

The tool provides a clear status (Valid/Invalid) along with a detailed JSON breakdown of the components found within the ID number.
