Spanish term

CARNET DE EXTRANJERÍA

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Transport / Transportation / Shipping Taxation in Peru
PERU. There is already a glossary entry for this term, but it does not provide any translation into English. I suspect there may be more than one valid option, which is why I am posting this query. NB: Please abstain from any comments about context, previous queries, or how easy it is to find information on Google. I am already painfully aware of all these points.

In this case, the item appears in a list of requisite from the SUNAT

"CARNET DE EXTRANJERÍA
REG. UNICO DE CONTRIBUYENTES
PASAPORTE
CED. DIPLOMATICA DE IDENTIDAD"
Proposed translations (English)

@neilmac En todas las gestiones administrativas/legales/de negocios etc que un indiividuo esté involucrado siempre estará por delante su doucmento de identidad en primera instancia. Como se ve también está el RUC y si la condition lo amerita la cédula diplomática.

Interesting Interesting topic in any case, I am sure you'll find the best option eventually! Good luck :)

NB As the context is a list of codes for tax purposes, I think it really refers to the number rather than the "carnet" per se. Like "folio", which usually means the folio number rather than the folio per se.

@Sandra The link is aimed at expats and explains in plain English what a NIE is. The fact that UK citizens don't have or need to carry an obligatory ID card means that there is no "official" standard translation is what is complicating the matter here. I'm really looking for an "official" sounding term. My clients says to use "IMMIGRATION ID NUMBER"...but I'm still not convinced.

(er) Hence the (er), though I have seen it used online (does not mean you want to use it, of course :)) - http://www.expatica.com/es/visas-and-permits/Work-in-Spain-G...

Foreign ID card ... sounds to me like an identity card issued in a foreign country. And "foreigner" in UK English sounds almost taboo nowadays, cf "Johnny foreigner". http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/johnny-f...
Stieneke Hulshof Mar 26, 2015:
What I've also seen, but to a lesser extent: foreign registration certificate or card.
Mixing up all the words in a different order, you get a nice new combination... (this is a joke)
neilmac (asker) Mar 26, 2015:
And then there were three... The two suggestions but so far are different, yet still somehow valid. I have some ideas of my own but I'm keeping my cards close to my chest until I see what else comes in, if anything. Tx.
