# Data standards

## Date format

All dates except date of birth use `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS±HH:MM`.

| Part     | Meaning             |
| -------- | ------------------- |
| `YYYY`   | Year, four digits   |
| `MM`     | Month, two digits   |
| `DD`     | Day, two digits     |
| `T`      | Literal separator   |
| `HH`     | Hour, two digits    |
| `MM`     | Minute, two digits  |
| `SS`     | Seconds, two digits |
| `±HH:MM` | Offset from GMT     |

For example, `2011-08-10T12:30:19-04:00` is August 10, 2011, 12:30:19 at GMT-4. See the [W3C dateTime definition](http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#datetime).

> **Info**
>
> Date of birth uses `YYYY-MM-DD`. For example, `2011-05-01` is May 1, 2011.

## Number format

Numbers use US format with no thousands separator, and `.` as the decimal separator.

| Valid     | Rejected                 |
| --------- | ------------------------ |
| `140530`  | `140,530`                |
| `15.50`   | `15,50`                  |
| `1950.25` | `1,950.25` or `1.950,25` |

## Text encoding

Send all data as UTF-8, and use JSON escaping for special characters.

## Country codes

Use [ISO 3166-1 alpha-2](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2) country codes. For example, the United Kingdom is `GB`, not `UK`.

## Residency of the insured

Each US state or jurisdiction regulates the travel insurance products sold to its residents. Benefits, coverage limits, and pricing can change with the insured's state of residence.
