/**
 * The Rwanda National Identity Number is structured according to a defined logic which codes for gender, year of
 * birth, production control and has a 7-digit serial number. It uses two Hash Digits
 * at the end to check for validity of the number to minimize data entry. The hashing
 * algorithm is kept secret, as it is viewed as part of the security features of the NIN
 * and the NID card. The structure of the rest of the number is publicly known or is
 * easy to guess, but this does not undermine its security in any way, since it is the hash
 * function that provides its security.
 *
 *
 * The first digit of the identity
 * number can be 1, 2 or 3 depending on whether the card is a national id, a foreigner’s
 * id or a refugee id
 *
 * The next four digits are the year of  birth
 * the next single digit is sex(it's either 7 or 8) - 7 is for female - 8 for male
 *
