+"""eID Number (Belgian electronic Identity Card Number).
+
+The eID is an electronic identity card (with chip), issued to Belgian citizens
+over 12 years old.
+The card number applies only to the card in question and should not be confused
+with the Belgian National Number (Rijksregisternummer, Numéro National),
+that is also included on the card.
+
+The card number consists of 12 digits in the form xxx-xxxxxxx-yy where
+yy is a check digit calculated as the remainder of dividing xxxxxxxxxx by 97.
+If the remainder is 0, the check number is set to 97.
