This tool lets you enter a South African ID number, and then checks its validity.

It also provides other useful information such as the person's gender, age, and South African citizenship status.

**No registration or account**
No registration is required to use the app. Simply download and install.

**No internet required**
No internet connection is required, which means this app can work even in remote locations (like nature reserves, lodges and parks).

**Not Home Affairs**
The app does not do a lookup on the ID number so it doesn't return information such as name, surname, marital status etc.

**Paid version**
This is the paid version. It contains no ads.

**There is a free version**
There is also a free version available on the Play Store, but it is supported by ads and no longer gets updated

**Safe and secure**
No data you enter is stored - it's not even sent to a server. The validation and calculations are done right on your phone. This makes it the safest and most secure way to check validity of South African Identification Numbers.

Disclaimer: This app does has no ties with the Department of Home Affairs.
