agree  EC Translate: Would normally mean "born", but in relation to the client number reference then "birth date" seems plausible. Soc. sec. no. should be abbrev. f.nr.

Reference: f., født, fødselsnr., fødselsnummer

Reference information:
Just for clarity,
If f. is followed by a date - 22.22.2222 - then this refers to date of birth.
If followed by date and five numbers - 22.22.2222 22222 - then this refers to the fødselsnummer:
which could be social security number (USA)
or National Indentity Number, or National Insurance Number,
depending on your prefered use.
