About the Personal Public Service Number
Expected format: 7 digits + 1-2 letters. The validator checks the structure and the official checksum, so a number that is well formed but fails its check digit is rejected.
Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server. Generated numbers are random test data: they match the algorithm but belong to no real person and must not be used to impersonate anyone.
