A citizen's passport is the main state document that certifies the identity and citizenship of a person. The passport is made in the form of a booklet and contains identification information about the owner: his name, surname, patronymic, date of birth, photo, gender, place of birth and citizenship (name of the country that issued the passport). To cross the state border, you must have a passport, which confirms your identity.
