1. The explanation of the new UI No. is as follows:
(1) English letter: Area code, indicating the place of application, corresponding to the area code in citizens’ ID card numbers.
(2) First digit: Indicates gender, 8 for male and 9 for female.
(3) Last digit: Check code.
2. The NIA plans to start issuing certificates bearing the new UI No. from January 2, 2021. Also, taking into account that some permanently resident foreign nationals are not present in Taiwan, in order to avoid affecting people’s rights, it is planned to spread the change to the new UI No. over a period of ten years, with the original UI No.’s ceasing to be usable as of January 1, 2031.
