♦️ CASE NUMBER CREATION DATE ♦️
The case numbers generated in NVC follow a specific pattern, and it is possible to find out the date of creation of your case through it.
The case number can be broken down as follows:
AAA - 0000 - 111 - 222
- The three letters indicate the consulate where the case will be sent
- The first 4 numbers are the year of creation of the case
- The next 3 numbers represent the “Julian date” shown in the calendar below, added to 500
- The last 3 numbers represent the sequential order in which the case was created.
Example: RDJ2021501020
RDJ - 2021 - 501 - 020
- RDJ: Rio De Janeiro
- 2021: case created in 2021
- 501: Julian date + 500, that is, in this case the Julian date is 1
- 020: twentieth case to be created.
Looking at the calendar, Julian date 1 means the case was created on 01/01.
There is a Julian Calendar for each year, so use the right calendar to do the math. (But it is basically the day of the year. E.g.: 01/31 is the 31st day of the year, 11/31 is the 333 day of the year).
