Types of Official Documents
Each country has a series of official documents. Among the most recognized are:
National Identity Document (DI): Primary identification in most Latin American and European countries, but rare in countries with a legal system based on common law. It includes a photo, signature, unique number, personal data, and sometimes fingerprints.
Passport: International travel document issued by the competent authority of the country.
Minor's Identity Card: Official identification for minors.
Driver's License: In some countries, especially the US and Canada, it is considered a primary identification document.
What is an Identity Document?
An identity document is an official record issued by a government authority (Latin American or European) that uniquely identifies a person or citizen of that nation. In Latin American countries, this is the primary way to prove citizenship.
The document typically includes information such as name, date of birth, identification number, photograph, and signature. Each country in the region has assigned a different name to this document, which can be seen in the following table.
