Usage

National Identifiers

Validate a number for a specific country using any official format (returns a bool):

var nationalIdentifier = "200301046835";
var validator = new SwedishNationalIdentifierValidator();
var result = validator.IsValid(nationalIdentifier);

// true

var nationalIdentifier = "200301046835";
var validator = NationalIdentifierValidator.GetValidator(CountryCode.SE);
var result = validator.IsValid(nationalIdentifier);

// true

Normalize national identifiers to a single format:

var nationalIdentifier = "20030104-6835";
var validator = new SwedishIdentifierValidator();
var result = validator.Normalize(nationalIdentifier);

// "200301046835"

Check for validity or normalize an identifier for any of the supported countries:

var result = NationalIdentifierValidator.IsValidInAnyCountry(nationalIdentifier);
var normalizedIdentifier = NationalIdentifierValidator.NormalizeForAnyCountry(nationalIdentifier);

Validate a property with data annotations:

[NationalIdentifier]
public string NationalIdentifier { get; set; }

[NationalIdentifier(CountryCode.SE)]
public string NationalIdentifier { get; set; }
