[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1106811, member: 39702"] You're joking, but in Yugoslavia, all republics had JMBG ([I]jedinstveni matični broj građana[/I], eng. [I]unique master citizen number[/I]) which was your social security number. It was made of date of birth, republic, region you're from, if you're natural citizen, your sex etc. I was born two years after the war and still had JMBG because countries continued to use it, just renamed it from JMBG to MBG. Only in 01/01/2009, because of possible privacy violations, government announced creation of OIB (osobni identifikacijski broj, eng. personal identification number) which was actually a random set of numbers assigned to every citizen and business entity. [B]Fun fact:[/B] even though (J)MBG is long gone from any use, a lot of government issued documents still have (J)MBG field for you to fill it and you can leave it empty or write your OIB. But no one should be surprised. Our laws still have written fines in Deutsche Marks. 🤷‍♂️ [/QUOTE]
