I just happen to like a length of nine or 10 digits, since it matches the SSN or DUNS or several other "standard identifiers" and might match existing forms and screens.
SSN is truly awful. But it's also very common. Most of the duplicate Social Security numbers. We've got are from illegals stealing them. I had a friend who was teaching at UCLA at the same time he was supposed to be washing dishes in San Diego. The result was he got dinged for two incomes by the IRS. The old Social Security number used to break into groups, each of which had meaning, but they abandon that a few years ago so it's just a random nine digits today.
The new Medicare number is done in groups of four, three, four text and digits; I have no idea how it's created. But I've seen commercially is that people want to use the customer's email as is an identifier. People actually seem to keep their email address for a long time, and you can be verified by, well, sending an email.
Please post DDL and follow ANSI/ISO standards when asking for help.

If you actually read the Social Security Act the SSN isn't supposed to be used for identification.

My old SSN card still says that right on the front.

jcelko212 32090 - Tuesday, November 27, 2018 7:44 AMBut for a posting, I want people to learn that an identifier is on a nominal scale and cannot be a numeric or pointer value.
As always, I'll have to strongly disagree with that.
