44: Date of birth. Well, here is the difference between male and female code. Code for men is the date of birth 01-31. while for women are different again, the date of birth plus 40, will be 41-71. So if you're a girl born on the 12th then the code is 40 + 12 that is 52.

03: Referring to the month again, 01 to January and beyond 12 for December.

91: Year of birth, written the last two numbers. Like if you were born in 1991 then only 91 written.

0312: Computerized number, this is a random number that is already set by the computer so as not to twin with the others. But usually for the head of the family will be written xx01, for the first child xx02, so on.
