			The last digit of the MRN is a modulus 11 check digit. In the following formula, the notation x<sub>n</sub> means the nth digit, counting from the right (the ones digit). The check digit x<sub>1</sub> is chosen so that the result of the formula in modulus 11 is always 0.<ref>The formula was derived empirically.

	Since the founding of the Church in 1830 most membership records were maintained in a decentralized manner with local wards in charge of registration and storage. However, in order to improve the quality of records kept and in accordance with received revelation, records were kept both centrally and locally in order to ensure safe-keeping and accuracy of performed ordinances.

	=== See also ===		The original standard MRN was 8 digits (7 digits plus a check digit). When it became clear that Church membership would exceed 10 million, the MRN format was extended to 11 digits (10 digits plus a check digit). All existing 8-digit numbers were given three leading zeroes. The new system will accommodate up to 10 billion unique MRNs.
