The South Africa ID Number Validator API is a tool that enables developers to validate South African ID numbers programmatically. The API performs a simple validation on the ID number to check its format, length, and other key aspects, ensuring that it is a valid South African ID number.
South African ID numbers are unique 13-digit numbers assigned to each citizen or permanent resident of the country. These numbers are used for various purposes, such as identification, voting, and tax administration. The ID number comprises the person's date of birth, gender, and unique identification number.
Using the South Africa ID Number Validator API, developers can easily verify whether an ID number is in a valid format or not. This can be useful for businesses that require ID number validation for customer registration and verification, as well as for government agencies that need to verify the identity of individuals for various purposes.
The API is simple to use and can be integrated into any application or website that requires South African ID number validation. It returns a response indicating whether the ID number is valid or not, along with any errors that may have been encountered during validation.

You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
