Life in society requires certain organizational issues at all levels, meanwhile in terms of inherent to the control and identification of the population of a country such fact is regulated and controlled by the state through the issuance of documents that prove the identity of people.
Among them are the identity document, also known by its acronym DNI and which is the main tool identification that we people have in our place of origin. His provision It is mandatory in almost all territories on the planet.
And the other very important public document is the passport, because in this also the identity of an individual is accredited and it is essential to have him if that person wants to leave his country, that is, through of the passport, the state accredits that this or that person are citizens of their country and therefore in some way is responsible for everything that that person can do citizen when visiting another country.
Whenever a person leaves their country, either for work or tourism, they must present their passport together with their national identity document.
Meanwhile, the exit will be sealed and when the person arrives at her destination, he must show it where he will also record his arrival. And the same will happen with his departure, he will settle there when he left the country.
The term passport is then used to refer to that type of document that is required to travel internationally and cross borders between different types of countries or regions. The passport is normally carried by a person in spaces such as airports, customs or neighboring places and it is always one of the most important and basic requirements to be able to move freely between an area and other. Depending on the country in question and also the traveler, such is the case of minors who do not travel with their parents or only with one of them, the passport may require to be accompanied by other documents such as visas or special exit permits, although, in many cases it is enough to have only him to make trips from tourism.
When describing the format of the passport, it can be said that it is a small document in the form of a booklet that contains data of vital importance about the person such as name and surname, date of birth, sex, place of birth and nationality, among others
It can also contain a home address and other elements that serve as a possible contact. Finally, the passport must include a current image of the person, although this was not always the case and at first the passports did not have such an element.
There are different types of passport that can be issued by the corresponding authorities according to the type of bearer as well as the type of situation. So much so that we find individual, family or collective passports (for professional groups especially), ordinary passports, official (for employees of the government) or diplomats (for those who work in consulates, they grant certain levels of immunity and benefits).
According to the requirements imposed by each country or region or the agreements that exist between countries that belong to the same region geographic location, as is the case of Mercosur, there may be cases in which to move from one country to another border, it is not requested to have a passport.
The opposite may also happen and more specific and more control documents may be required for citizens of certain countries to enter certain territories.
These issues have to do with diplomatic and political relations between various areas of the world. planet, as well as international security, the transfer of people and the crossing of borders
For example, in the case of the United States, after the tragic and tremendous attack on the Twin Towers in 2001, this country decided to intensify its controls on those individuals who enter the country and then, in addition to passports, special visas are usually required to be issued demand the provision of specific and very detailed personal information about the people who will enter and also the motivations with which it will do.
As a consequence, historically identity documents and passports have been the most falsified and violated public documents is that each time they are attributed greater conditions of safety, and of course, this makes misappropriation really difficult.
