Correct letter

How is the DNI letter calculated?

The NIF letter is not random: it is obtained by dividing the DNI number by 23 and taking the remainder. That remainder (from 0 to 22) maps to a position in the official letter sequence TRWAGMYFPDXBNJZSQVHLCKE. That is why a number always has exactly one valid letter.

For a NIE, the leading letter is first replaced by a number (X→0, Y→1, Z→2) and then the same calculation is applied. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so no personal data is transmitted.
