Country pack
Latvia PII detection: personas kods, IBAN
Short answer
Maskflare's Latvia pack has 4 detectors. 2 validate a check digit or letter, 1 tests layout or an embedded date, 1 matches on pattern alone.
What the Latvia pack covers
The Latvia pack holds 4 detectors: IBAN, Personal code (personas kods), Phone number and Postal code. 2 of them recompute a check digit or letter, 1 tests layout or an embedded date only, 1 is pattern-only.
| Detector | Category | Validation | Valid example |
|---|---|---|---|
| IBAN | bank account number (IBAN) | Checksum | LV80 BANK 0000 4351 9500 1 |
| Personal code (personas kods) | national ID number | Checksum | 120345-12345 |
| Phone number | phone number | Layout rules | +371 2123 4567 |
| Postal code | postal code | Pattern only | LV-1050 |
Every Latvia detector in detail
IBAN
A bank account identifier. Validation: the registered length for the country and the ISO 13616 modulus 97 check. Valid example: LV80 BANK 0000 4351 9500 1; the same shape that fails is LV80 BANK 0000 4351 9500 0.
Personal code (personas kods)
A national identity number. Validation: an embedded birth date and a weighted modulus 11 check digit (codes starting 32 carry neither). A run of digits with no separator is judged by words nearby; the detector's own keywords include id no, id number, identity number, national id. Valid example: 120345-12345; the same shape that fails is 120345-12340.
Phone number
A telephone number in the national format. Validation: between 7 and 15 digits, the range an international number can have. Valid example: +371 2123 4567.
Postal code
A postal code, which identifies a place rather than a person on its own. Validation: the pattern only, with no checksum or structural validator. Valid example: LV-1050.
Local-language context words for Latvia
These are the words in the catalogue that confirm a value as belonging to this country's detector. Shared English words such as ID number or tax id are left out here because many packs use them; a word below points at this pack even when other packs are on.

How Maskflare masks Latvia identifiers
Detections are replaced with a token such as mf_mask_d7e0 before the request goes to the AI provider, and with response restoration turned on the real value is put back in the answer. The other actions are redact, partial, hash, format-preserving encryption, generalize, alert and block.
- Protect now, Finance - Protect now, Healthcare and Developer: mask (a reversible token) when Latvia is a primary country.
- Monitor first: alert (counted, forwarded unchanged) when Latvia is a primary country.
Compliance profiles that include the Latvia pack: GDPR - EU/EEA.
Limits worth knowing
- A passing checksum shows that a value is well formed, not that it was issued to a real person. The examples on this page pass for that reason and are not real.
- 1 of the 4 detectors here matches on pattern alone (Postal code), so it can match text that merely has the same shape.
- Detectors read the text of the request. A value inside an image is found only after OCR, and a value split across lines is not one match.
- Names, addresses and free-text details are handled by other packs. This page is limited to the Latvia identifiers.
Frequently asked questions
What does Maskflare detect for Latvia?
4 detectors: IBAN, Personal code (personas kods), Phone number and Postal code.
Are Latvia identifiers masked by default?
They are masked when Latvia is chosen as a primary country (the default Protect now template uses the action mask), or when the pack is turned on directly. A country pack is not on for organisations that did not choose the country.
Which Latvia identifiers have a checksum?
IBAN and Personal code (personas kods).
Do the Latvia detectors need keywords?
No detector in this pack requires a keyword. Some judge unseparated digit runs by nearby words.
Rules on this page describe what Maskflare's detectors and validators check. They are read from the detection catalogue and are not the specification of the body that issues the identifier. Examples are synthetic.
