Hi Chris,I just came across this now, it looks great I have read most articles where they say the 11th digit is 0 for SA citizen and 1 for foreign, would I be correct then in assuming you can change the code to instead of specifying 0-9 you could 0-1 (?<Year>[0-9][0-9])(?<Month>([0][1-9])|([1][0-2]))(?<Day>([0-2][0-9])|([3][0-1]))(?<Gender>[0-9])(?<Series>[0-9]{3})(?<Citizenship>[0-1])(?<Uniform>[0-9])(?<Control>[0-9]) Thanks for the great work!
