| 29 | Person records are primarily identified by: |
| 30 | |
| 31 | - an exact match of first name and last name (if both are present in the import item), or |
| 32 | - alternatively, an exact match of the initials (if present in the import item) |
| 33 | |
| 34 | If any matching records can be found, they will be ranked by: |
| 35 | |
| 36 | - an exact match of the first name (+2/-2 points) |
| 37 | - an exact match of the last name (+2/-2 points) |
| 38 | - an exact match of the date of birth (+2/-2 point) |

| 41 | - an exact match of the mobile phone number (+1/-1 point) |
| 42 | - an exact match of the initials (+1/-1 point) |
| 43 | |
| 44 | If any of the criteria is missing from either the existing record or the import item, the test will not be performed (0 points). |
| 45 | |
| 46 | If the sum of the points is less than 0, the record will not be regarded as a match. |
| 47 | |
