      Many countries in Europe and South America have a National Identity card or document, usually abbreviated as DNI in spanish-speaking countries. This is not the case of USA, which lacks of one. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_identity_cards_in_the_European_Economic_Area

      In most countries, this is the unique official document for any legal transaction: commercial, justice system, healthcare system. Passports, driver licenses, tax, insurance or social security numbers are not valid IDs for those transactions, although they exist.

      This identification type is missing in the* identifier-type* coding system.

      It is also missing a Residency Card, which is how legal alien residents are identified in many countries, rather than passports.
