This is not part of the content in regards to information about the person.
It is information of what kind of form this is, printed in small print on the left side of the form. Much like a re-order number for forms.

Explanation:
It is very difficult to tell on the basis of so little context and the misspelling of your source term. A shot in the dark, nonetheless.

The second sentence (see second link below) refers to the carbon-copy Überweisungsformulare that were so common before the banks found it necessary to save money(!) and prior to our knowing anything about Internet Banking.

This is also interesting. If your text is especially current, you might be well served with something like multi-part form, as int he sentence ... the information is then typically taken to a station elsewhere in the hospital to be entered on a State-provided, often multi-part form.

Example sentence(s):
  • Das Formular Taufanmeldung, ein Durchschreibesatz, den Sie im Pfarramt erhalten, bitte bis zum Taufgespräch ausfüllen und unterschreiben.
  • Die meisten Überweisungsträger sind mittlerweile aus Kostenersparnisgründen ohne Durchschreibesatz versehen.
