Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries the word identificación is understood, but locals often refer to the official ID as DNI (Documento Nacional de Identidad) in Spain, cédula in many Latin American nations, or pasaporte for a passport. When speaking formally, use the full phrase; in casual conversation you might simply ask, “¿Llevo el DNI?”
