Identifier types
Every item in the identifiers[] array of a PEP record carries a type, a value, and a country. type names the identification scheme of the issuing country, so read country alongside it, and the sections below list the applicable types by country.
Type ssn with country se is a Swedish personnummer, always served as 12-digit YYYYMMDD-NNNN.
These are the identifier types applicable to PEP records today. type is a plain string in the contract, not a closed enum, so a new type can appear without a schema version change. Match the types you care about and pass an unrecognized one through rather than treating it as an error.
