Unique Identity Document


Explanation:
Documento Único de Identidad. In English I think "unique" would go better. At least it's not "conducir bajo estado de ebriedad..."

National Identity Document


Explanation:
While the literal translation of "Documento Unico Identidad" is unique identity document, it implies a national identity document. In fact, in other Latin American countries it is called the Documento Nacional de Identidad.

Unified Identity Document


Explanation:
En este caso, creo que Único se refiere a que reúne distintos tipos de información que antes estaban en varios documentos.En el caso del Documento del Salvador, integra el carnet electoral.
Por ello propongo Unified.
