Government / Politics / string appearing in a Catalonian National Identity Document
Spanish term or phrase: num soport
This string appears in a Catalonian National identity Document, underneath the "Fecha de nacimiento" field . What does it mean? (it may be an abbreviation in Catalan). The rest of the document is basically Spanish/Catalan bilingual.

English translation:card code / card [issuance] number
Explanation:
It appears to be a code number assigned to the actual card itself, i.e., not the identification number of the person to whom the card refers. ("Soporte" often refers to a physical medium containing information, e.g., a disc, tape, etc.)

"Por la parte frontal del DNI encontramos nuestra foto, los datos de filiación, el kinegrama, los relieves y tintas variables (sirven para evitar falsificaciones), el número de soporte (un código alfanumérico que identifica a la tarjeta física y no a la persona) y el número CAN (la clave que te permite acceder a la información de tu DNI electrónico)."
