BS ISO 24366:2021 pdf download – Financial services — Natural person identifier (NPI)
This document specifies a machine-readable, unambiguous natural person identifier (NPI) and the relevant reference data to uniquely identify the natural person relevant to any financial transaction rather than the personal identifying information.

4 Structure of the natural person identifier
This document uses the following conventions for data element representations:
a) Character representations:
— n: digits (numeric characters 0 to 9 only);
— c: upper-case alphanumeric characters (A to Z and 0 to 9 only).
b) Length indications:
— nn!: fixed length;
— nn: maximum length.
The format of the NPI shall be
— 13!c2!n.
The NPI consists of 15 characters decomposed as follows:
— characters (13!c) without separators or “special” characters;
— the 14th and 15th characters (2!n) shall be the check digit pair, as calculated based on the procedure defined in this document.
5 Check digits
5.1 General
The check digits shall be calculated based on the simplified procedure defined in ISO/IEC 7064 (refer to MOD 97-10 for the simplified check digit calculation) after the conversion of the (leftmost) 13 alphanumeric characters into a character string consisting only of digits. The check digits are used to verify the NPI.
Valid check digit pairs are in the range of [02 .. 98]. 00, 01 and 99 are not valid NPI check digit pairs.
If the check digits have been calculated correctly, when the entire 15-character NPI is converted to numbers following the process described in step 1 of 5.2 and divided by 97 as described in step 3 of 5.2,the remainder shall be “1”.
5.2 Calculating the check digits
Step 1: Any letters in the 13-character string shall be converted to digit pairs in accordance with ISO/IEC 7064 (MOD 97-10).
Step 2: Two zeros shall be appended to the resulting string at the rightmost positions.
Step 3: A Euclidian division of the resulting number by 97 shall be performed to determine the remainder.
Step 4: The remainder shall be subtracted from 98 to determine the check digit pair.
Step 5: The check digit pair shall be appended to the original 13-character string to arrive at the NPI.
