Passport / Identity card / Identity papers / means of identification Explanation: Since I don't do the test, a little bit more of a context would be helpful to better clarify what sort of "Ausweis" is meant, but this might still give you an idea.

identification; ID; proof of identity Explanation: I agree with "reni" that more context is needed in order to decide which term(s) to use. "Passport" and "identification card" might be too specific, but then again, depending on what's come before in the text, they might be exactly what's called for. In the U.S., at least, the word "identification" is often sufficient, as in "Do you have any identification?" And sometimes, that identification isn't what we would call an "identification card" per se, but simply "ID," which can encompass everything from your driver's license and social security card to credit cards sometimes, too. "The identification met the legal requirements for XXX," and, if something in the text indicates that identification has been provided, maybe "The identification provided met the legal requirements for XXX," or, if XXX is a place, ". . . met XXX's legal requirements." |

statement or disclosure or presentation or certification Explanation: If this has anything to do with all the questions about financial statements and does not concern the identification of a person then the right word might be "statement" or "disclosure" from Hamblock/Wessels - or - "certification from Eichborn -- or - "presentation" or "disclosure" from Arthur Andersen - The choice would require more context. |
