When we read machine-readable zone (MRZ) dates, we only see the last two digits in year. Is there a rule to establish when such date is 1900’s or 2000’s? It should exist something to check MRZ validators, but I don’t find anything.
Thanks!

In Bulgaria for example, they are adding 40 to the month digits.
So if you are born after year 2000, say 15 september 2005 you will get:
054915
(yy-mm-dd) where 49 is 40 + 9th month = 49
But that is probably country dependant.
