in every state sooner or later, government records puzzling problem of its citizens, and begin to give them the official documents for identification.The first of these documents is a simple certificate, which in addition to the name, last name, occupation and descriptions of appearance, stood registration number - a kind of series of passports, on which you can find an account in the registration book.But in the mid-19th century mass passports canceled - this was due to the development of rail transport, due to which it became difficult to keep track of the movement of people.But the First World War, once again served as the impetus for the introduction of official documents.
Currently binding document for all citizens of the Russian Federation - a passport, series and number of which are used for identification in all existing databases.No other document can not serve as a complete substitute for the passport, its bound to get all the people who have reached the age of 14.Identity document issued in the offices of the police department or the Federal Migration Service of Russia, with a passport indicates the place of permanent residence - the area, region, republic or region.Passport series corresponds to the code assigned to the corresponding subject of the Russian Federation, so the first two digits indicate the area of ​​residence.The second two digits indicate the year of issue of the document, and the subsequent six-digit number is the serial number.
In the USSR, a single passport system was introduced in 1933, with rural residents passport on hand was not given until 1974.In a series of official documents of the Soviet passports was designated in another way - in the course was marked with the letter of the Russian alphabet and Roman numerals.Roman numerals designated the sequence the issuance of official documents and the letters in turn correspond to the area or region: in Moscow issued a passport with letters MJ and Security, IR Kirov, Krasnodar hypertension, etc.
Interestingly, currently determined by a series of passport OKATO directory that does not match its analog traffic police.If you suddenly notice a discrepancy of its instrument, the code of region or issue, it does not mean that a fake passport.Just in 1997 was the release of books on the special edition, which was replaced by a series of passport established figures, its for each region.
Citizens of other countries numbering passport - the series as such, they do not contain, but there is a long number with letter (Latin alphabet) and numeric characters.In this connection, during the registration of certain documents in our country they have problems - forms contain mandatory column "series passports."
It must be remembered that the series and passport number yavlyutsya sensitive data and are not subject to disclosure.So do not tell all your passport information, especially to publish them in open access, a passport or a copy of it may be present only in the official institutions, such as banks, police station, the hotel staff, etc.
