RRN (South Korean resident registration number).

The RRN (resident registration number, 주민등록번호) is a 13-digit number issued to all residents of the Republic of Korea. Foreigners residing in the Republic of Korea receive an alien registration number (ARN) which follows the same encoding pattern.

The first six digits code the date of birth. The seventh digit encodes the century and gender. The next four digits encode the place of birth for Koreans or the issuing agency for foreigners, followed by two digits for the community center number, one serial number and a check digit.
