ISMN (International Standard Music Number)
ISAN (International Standard Audiovisual Number)
EAN (International Article Number)
BSN (Burgerservicenummer, the Dutch national identification number)
CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas, the Brazillian national identification number)
SSN (U.S. Social Security Number)
IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity)
IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity)
MEID (Mobile Equipment Identifier)
GRid (Global Release Identifier)
IBAN (International Bank Account Number)
ISIL (International Standard Identifier for Libraries and Related Organizations)

Furthermore a number of generic check digit algorithms are available:

the Verhoeff algorithm
the Luhn and Luhn mod N algorithms
some algorithms described in ISO/IEC 7064: Mod 11, 2, Mod 37, 2, Mod 97, 10, Mod 11, 10 and Mod 37, 36

Feedback and support for other numbers is more than welcome. Please use the python-stdnum-users mailing list.
