1.2 Certificate of Entitlement - File Numbers

Provision has been made for the file numbers appearing on Certificates of Entitlement to contain a maximum of 15 digits.  Presently  12  are  used.    The new Certificate of Entitlement file number is made up as follows:-

• the first seven digits are the normal 7 digit file number (please see Chapter 2);
• the eighth digit is a check digit;
• the next four digits are the current DSH application number; and
• the last two digits are spare for any future needs.

This file number is essentially an identifier for the Bank.
