personal identification number


Explanation:
No, it is not the same - the 'TAJ (társadalmi azonosító jel') number is still in use and consists of 9 digits, while the personal identification number is not used any more for privacy reasons, and used to consist of 11 digits - a 1 (male) or 2 (female) at the beginning, then the last two digits of the year you were born, then 2 digits for the month and 2 for the day, and then a unique four-digit code (http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Személyi_szám).
