Finnish Person ID Check

Overview

This module provides functions to validate Finnish person IDs (Henkilötunnus) and determine the gender based on the ID. A valid Finnish person ID consists of 11 characters in the format DDMMYYCZZZQ, where:

• DDMMYY represents the date of birth
• C is the century sign ('+' for 1800s, '-' for 1900s, 'A' for 2000s)
• ZZZ is an individual number (odd numbers are males, even numbers are females)
• Q is a checksum character

Installation

npm install fi-pin

Usage

const personId = '131052-308T';

if (isValidPersonId(personId)) {
	console.log('male', isMale(personId));
	console.log('female', isFemale(personId));
}

// functions can also be extended with branded types to narrow down the type guard of the personId (as example with zod BRAND)
if (isValidPersonId<z.BRAND<'PersonID'>>(personId)) {
	// personId is typed as: string & z.BRAND<'PersonID'>
	if (isMale<z.BRAND<'MalePersonID'>>(personId)) {
		// personId is typed as: string & z.BRAND<'PersonID'> & z.BRAND<'MalePersonID'>
	}
	if (isFemale<z.BRAND<'FemalePersonID'>>(personId)) {
		// personId is typed as: string & z.BRAND<'PersonID'> & z.BRAND<'FemalePersonID'>
	}
}
