Date and time notation in the Republic of China

ROC date format is a date format used in the Republic of China, in addition to the Gregorian calendar. The format of the ROC date is YYYMMDD. The start year for this date is set to 1911 and to convert ROC date into regular date format, you can use the following logic:

  • ROC date - 0970101 (YYYMMDD)
  • Converted Date - 20080101 (YYYYMMDD) or simply put '1 Jan 2008'

Conversion logic

  1. Get the first three digits YYY.
  2. Add 1911 to these digits
  3. The resultant is the year
(1911 + 097 = 2008)

Months and days are the same as the normal Calendar days (MM = Month Number and DD = Day Number)
