Social Insurance Number (SIN)
The Social Insurance Number (SIN) component provides an input field for collecting a user’s Canadian Social Insurance Number. It is designed for scenarios where collecting a SIN is required and should be used only when legally and operationally necessary.
How It Works
The SIN component renders a single input field that allows users to enter their Social Insurance Number. The component enforces the expected SIN format and can be configured with required, disabled, and validation settings to meet your form and compliance requirements.
