On the unique identification number, which digits identify the court type?

• A. Digit 5 on the unique identification number
• B. Digits 6-7 on the unique identification number
• C. Digits 8-10 on the unique identification number
• D. Transaction Receipt Number

Answer: (B)

The unique identification number is built so certain digits carry specific information about the record. In this system, the digits in the sixth and seventh positions are allocated to indicate the court type. That means you can look at those two digits and know whether the record belongs to a civil, criminal, family, or other court category, without needing to decode the rest of the number. The fifth digit and digits eight through ten usually serve other purposes, such as office codes or year/sequence data, and the Transaction Receipt Number is a separate identifier beyond the unique ID. So the digits in positions six and seven are the ones that identify the court type.
