Generation of a time-base UUID
Your generated UUID:

The following time-based UUID has been automatically generated for you:
              
You can copy/paste this hexadecimal value where needed.

If you want to register your UUID as an OID, please click on this button and fill the form that will be displayed:
         

Please keep in mind that a human intervention is needed to validate an OID submission and only register your UUID if there is a need to do so as explained in the following paragraph.
The objective of the registration should be seen mainly as a means of publishing the UUID and its semantics. UUIDs are registered in the OID repository as subsequent arcs of {joint-iso-itu-t(2) uuid(25)}. The (very large) decimal value equivalent to the above hexadecimal value is used for the number of the OID arc.

Your registration must include the following information:

  • Country in which the registering organization has its main headquarters;
  • Name of organization, with country registration information if a registered company, charity, etc. or affiliation to a known international organization;
  • Name and title, postal address, e-mail address, telephone and fax number for the contact point (or registrant) within the registering organization;
  • Free-form information establishing the bona fides of the registering organization as a means to audit and remove spurious registrations;
  • (Optionally) a URL that can be accessed to provide more information about the use of the UUID.

This Registration Authority guarantees the uniqueness of registered UUIDs. An attempt to separately register the same UUID will fail, with a link to the current registration details.

Government health warning: It is important to note that an unregistered UUID can be used under the same arc (namely, {joint-iso-itu-t(2) uuid(25)}) as that of a registered UUID. Thus identical values for a registered UUID and an unregistered UUID (or for two unregistered UUIDs) might be used, although the probability of this occurring is very small. The probability is increased if UUIDs are generated from MD5 hash values or pseudo-random numbers, rather than from SHA-1 hash values and cryptographic-quality random numbers.

Disclaimer: The Registration Authority for UUIDs shall not be liable for any failure to operate under the procedures specified in ITU-T Rec. X.667 | ISO/IEC 9834-8, or for any actions related to its duties in relation to this standard. The Registration Authority for UUIDs shall not be held liable for any use of an unregistered OID value that is the same as a registered OID value, as it has no control over the use of such values
