Questions
How is a Malaysian IC number structured?
YYMMDD-PB-###G: the first six digits are the date of birth, the next two are the place of birth (a state code, or a country code for people born abroad), and the last four are a serial number whose last digit is odd for males and even for females.
Is it safe to type my IC number here?
Yes. The number is read by a small script in your browser; it is not saved, not logged and never sent to any server. You can turn on airplane mode after the page loads and it still works.
Why does my state show a number like 21–59?
Codes 21–59 were given to states after the original 01–16 ran out, so for example 21–24 are also Johor and 54–57 are also Kuala Lumpur.
