Source: R/pin_ctrl.R
pin_ctrl.Rd

Validate Finnish personal identity codes (hetu).

Usage

pin_ctrl(pin, allow.temp = FALSE)

hetu_ctrl(pin, allow.temp = FALSE)

Arguments

pin

Finnish personal identity code(s) as a character vector

allow.temp

If TRUE, temporary PINs (personal numbers 900-999) are handled similarly to regular PINs (personal numbers 002-899), meaning that otherwise valid temporary PIN will return a TRUE. Default is FALSE.

Value

A logical vector indicating whether the input vector contains valid Finnish personal identity codes.
