Your question doesn't make sense. You want to develop a Government ID Numbering System for something, and you want to use Open Source for something too? – Chris S Sep 9 '10 at 12:38
yes we are doing for one of the country and we want to use only open source products to develop – neolix Sep 9 '10 at 12:40
that still dosent make any sense. I assume you mean "we are looking to develop a system similar to the social security number system in the USA, but using open source products - does anyone have any suggesiotns on this?" -- but that is way too vauge to be answered anyhow ! – Sirex Sep 9 '10 at 12:44
yes i know my english suck – neolix Sep 9 '10 at 12:48
translate.google.com Numbering and Identification systems are easy; they simply take a degree of forethought. A MySQL DB could hold that info easily. PHP or a custom C++ program could present it via Apache; or you could build an OSS program to interface with the DB. None of this is specific to ID Systems. – Chris S Sep 9 '10 at 12:49

Yes.
That would be the obvious answer to your question.

Assuming you're looking for advice on needed open source products that might come in handy; take a look at
