The issue date of the ID card or Passport is an important reference because it helps determine its validity. It is clear that the ID card or Passport are important documents, even more so for identification when travelling. Therefore, to complete the traveller registration for any holiday rental, it is essential to have these documents up to date. The traveller check-in form, as you may know, is the document obtained by submitting your guests' details to the police, so that a thorough record is kept of all travellers who stay at your holiday property. One of the required details is the issue date of the guest's ID card or Passport. This is information that appears visibly on the documents and is not very difficult to find. However, we want to make it even easier for you and show it visually in this article.
On the other hand, if you are a guest who has arrived at your holiday home and are going to complete a self check-in with Check-in Scan, it will also be very useful to know how to locate this detail to complete the process. In addition, it is advisable to make sure that your document has not expired. Depending on the document and the age of the holder, the renewal periods are different. There are usually no issues with the ID card as it is a document we use frequently. However, it may happen that you need your passport and find it has expired due to less frequent use.
In version 4.0, the issue date of the ID card can be found on the front side, just below the word "ISSUE". The expiry date, however, is located just to the right of the issue date.
In version 3.0, you will need to look on the right side of the front, above the thumbnail photo. As shown in the image below. Additionally, if you want to check the MRZ code, it is located on the back of the ID card.
Finding the issue date on the ID card is extremely straightforward. In version 2.0, you need to look at the front left side inside a box labelled "DNI". The numbers printed above are the issue date.
A total of 6 digits are used, with the first two corresponding to the day, the next two to the month, and the last two to the year. For example, if the number is 280715, it means the ID card was issued on 28 July 2015.
The passport is a document used for travelling. And the way to identify the issue date is even simpler, if anything, than in the case of the ID card.
In the case of the passport, you need to look at the main page. Once you open it, where your photo and personal details appear, you will find the issue date and, in addition, the validity expiry date.
