How many digits is an Armenian social security number?

The Armenian public services number (ՀԾՀ, sometimes called the SSN) is exactly 10 digits. It is printed on the social card and the national ID card and is used across HR, banking and eGov services. A value that is not 10 numeric digits is not valid.

Does the Armenian social ID have a check digit?

Armenia does not publish an official public check-digit algorithm for the 10-digit public services number, so this tool validates structure only: exact length, numeric content and a non-zero leading digit. It cannot confirm the number is assigned to a real person.

Is this the same as the Armenian tax ID (TIN)?

No. The public services number (ՀԾՀ) identifies an individual for social and government services, while the TIN identifies a taxpayer or business and uses a different format. This validator checks the 10-digit social number, not the TIN.

Why does a leading zero fail?

Issued Armenian public services numbers do not start with 0. A leading zero usually means a digit was lost when the number was copied from a spreadsheet that stripped it. Restore the missing leading digit to get a full 10-digit value.

Does my number get sent anywhere?

No. The entire check runs in your browser with JavaScript and nothing is transmitted. That makes the tool safe for HR onboarding, banking and KYC pre-screening where personal data must stay on-device.

Armenia Social Security Number Validator

Armenia’s public services number (Հանրային ծառայությունների համարանիշ, ՀԾՀ) — commonly referred to as the social security number — is a 10-digit identifier printed on the social card and national ID. It is required for employment, banking and eGov portals. This tool validates the structural format of that number entirely in your browser.

How it works

A valid Armenian public services number must satisfy three structural rules:

After removing spaces and dashes, it must be exactly 10 characters long.
Every character must be a digit 0–9.
The leading digit must not be 0, because issued numbers are not zero-padded.

Armenia does not publish an official public check-digit formula for the public services number, so the tool deliberately validates structure only instead of inventing a checksum that would flag valid numbers as invalid. If all three rules pass, the format is valid.

Example

Input:  0102405678   →  invalid (leading zero)
Input:  5102405678    →  valid format (10 digits, non-zero lead)
Input:  510240567      →  invalid (only 9 digits)

Notes

A “valid format” result means the value could be a public services number — it does not confirm the number is assigned to a real individual; only Armenia’s authorities can confirm that. Because all processing happens locally, the tool is safe for HR, banking and KYC pre-checks where personal data must not leave the device.
