Thanks for response-but no-I am a South African citizen and my last 3 numbers are 083. It must be in the middle 4 numbers which for me are 5143. I know the 5 indicates male-the other 3 somehow must show i was not born in RSA?
I have just tried to apply for my RSA passport on line and they will not let me because I was not born in South Africa. The only way they could have known this is from my ID number. What part of the number gives this away?
