About SIN (Canada)

What is SIN?

SIN (Social Insurance Number) is Canada's social insurance number, issued by Service Canada. It has 9 digits in XXX-XXX-XXX format, used for work, taxes, and social benefits. The first digit indicates the province of issue.

Verification algorithm

SIN uses the Luhn algorithm (modulo 10), the same as credit cards. Digits in even positions are doubled, 9 is subtracted if the result exceeds 9, and the total sum must be divisible by 10.

Use in development

International HR systems, Canadian payroll platforms, and fiscal compliance applications require SIN. Use fictitious numbers generated by Help4Dev to test these flows safely.
