Where is the document number on a passport card?

What would we be a "passport" number on a national ID card?

  • hi, a fried is gonna book me a ticket abroad but he needs my passport number to do it..i only have a Portuguese national ID card on me which works just as well as a passport. what im wondering is where is the equivalent to that special number on the ID card. Im staring at 2 numbers but im confused which one to give...could it be PRTxxxxxxxxx or "Civil ID number" xxxxxxxx thanks for any help

  • Answer:

    Don't listen to what "froggequene" tells and don't get confused with that. Holding a Portuguese ID card you may travel throughout the European Economic Area to include the U.K. and Ireland without a passport. http://bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/travellingtotheuk/Enteringtheuk/arrivingatukborder/ ..[read: what travel documents are accepted at the border]. http://www.timaticweb.com/cgi-bin/tim_website_client.cgi?SpecData=1&VISA=&HEALTH=&page=both&NA=PT&AR=00&DE=PT&VT=GB&EM=GB&PASSTYPES=PASS&user=SKYWEB&subuser=SKYWEB1 .. It is also valid to travel to Albania, Andorra, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Gibraltar, FYROM (Macedonia), Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino. On a booked tour through travel agents and with hotel vouchers you may also use it to travel to Morocco. http://skyteam.com/about/travelhelp/travelinfo.html .. Some Brits or Irish here think because they need passports everybody else needs them, too. Now to your ID card question. The eight-digit number in the column above your signature on the front page is the ID-card number; it is repeated in the machine readable zone on the back of the ID following the type I [for ID-card] and PRT [for Portugal]. This is the number you'll enter for a flight ticket booking. The other numbers on the back are the Tax Number, the Social Security Number, and the Health Insurance Number; they have no relevance for the flight ticket booking..

your national ID card may work just as well in europe, but you will need a passport to enter most countries outside europe.

Where are you flying from? If you're flying out of the UK, you must use a passport, the UK is not part of the Schengen Agreement, you can't exit the UK on identity papers but you can travel within the EU on them.
