The following are examples of passport numbers and brief rules for some common countries/regions (**Please note that the following information is only a general introduction and does not involve real personal data or confidential information**)： --- ### **1. Chinese ordinary passport (private passport)** -**Example**:`E12345678` -**Rules**： -The first letter is the passport type code (for example, `E` stands for electronic ordinary passport). -The follow-up is 8 digits (7 digits in the early stage), which is generated by the system in order or by a specific algorithm. -The number is unique and bound to the holder's information, and it is anti-counterfeiting through a verification mechanism. --- ### **2. U.S. passport** -**Example**:`123456789` -**Rules**： - Pure numbers with 9 digits, randomly generated (no specific meaning). -The new generation of electronic passports may add letter prefixes (such as `C12345678`). --- ### **3. Japanese passport** -**Example**:`AB123456` -**Rules**： -The first two digits are letters (representing the passport type), followed by 6 digits. -The number is associated with the issuing authority and validity period. --- ### **4. EU countries (such as Germany)** -**Example**: `12ABC34567` -**Rules**： -Combined structure, which may contain implied information such as country code and year of issuance. -Some countries embed check digits in their numbers. --- ###**Precautions**： 1. **Confidentiality**: The passport number is sensitive personal information and should not be disclosed or shared. 2. **Non-fixed rules**: Countries may adjust the generation rules from time to time (such as upgrading electronic passports). 3. **Verification mechanism**: Most countries will add verification codes or encryption logic to prevent forgery.
