How Israeli ID Checksum Validator Works?

The Israeli ID Checksum Validator works by multiplying the 9 digits of a Teudat Zehut number by 1 and 2 alternately, adding the digit sums of the products, and confirming the total is a multiple of 10.

  1. 1Pad the number with leading zeros to 9 digits.
  2. 2Multiply digits by 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 from the left.
  3. 3Subtract 9 from products above 9.
  4. 4Add the 9 results.
  5. 5Mark the ID valid when the sum mod 10 = 0.

Israeli ID Checksum Validator Formula

The Israeli ID formula is Σ f(dᵢ·wᵢ) mod 10 = 0, with wᵢ = 1, 2 alternating from the left.

S = Σ g(dᵢ × wᵢ),  w = 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,  g(x) = x − 9 if x > 9
valid ⇔ S mod 10 = 0   (ISRAELI ID)
  • dᵢ is the i-th digit after padding.
Worked example: 12345678?
1×1 + 2×2 + 3×1 + 4×2 + 5×1 + 6×2=12→3 + 7×1 + 8×2=16→7
S = 38
Check = 2
ID = 123456782
