The Personal Public Service number consists of 7 digits, and one or two letters. The first letter is a check character. When present (which should be the case for new numbers as of 2013), the second letter can be 'A' (for individuals) or 'H' (for non-individuals, such as limited companies, trusts, partnerships and unincorporated bodies). Pre-2013 values may have 'W', 'T', or 'X' as the second letter ; it is ignored by the check. >>> validate('6433435F') # pre-2013 '6433435F' >>> validate('6433435FT') # pre-2013 with special final 'T' '6433435FT' >>> validate('6433435FW') # pre-2013 format for married women '6433435FW' >>> validate('6433435E') # incorrect check digit Traceback (most recent call last): ...
