and send it to 105.

The 17-Digit National ID format provides more detailed information about the holder’s identity. Here’s how the 17-digit NID is structured:

1. First 4 Digits: Birth Year
2. Next 2 Digits: District Code
3. Next 1 Digit: RMO Code (Rural/Municipality/Other Code)
4. Next 2 Digits: Upazila Code
5. Next 2 Digits: Union/Country Code
6. Last 6 Digits: Unique Private Number

The older 13-Digit NID format lacked the birth year at the beginning. Its structure was as follows:

1. First 2 Digits: District Code
2. Next 1 Digit: RMO Code
3. Next 2 Digits: Upazila Code
4. Next 2 Digits: Union/Country Code
5. Last 6 Digits: Unique Private Number

The transition from the 13-digit to the 17-digit Smart National ID Card ensures better data accuracy, inclusion of the birth year and alignment with advanced biometric and identification standards. The new cards are equipped with microchip technology for enhanced security and usability.
