The concept that concerns us has several references in our language, almost all of them linked to identity, which is the set of traits or data that individualizes or distinguishes something or someone, that is its main function, and that in any case confirms that someone really is who they are, or that a thing is what it is, without a doubt.
Recognition of the identity of something or someone
In general terms we will say that identification implies the action and effect of identifying, which is to recognize the identity of something or someone, thus marking differences with others.
For example, when I know an idea or a proposal in depth, and therefore distinguish it from so many others, and on the other hand, I could identify with it when I decide to assume it as my own and defend it in front of whomever it corresponds because I agree with their proposal or trend.
Also when things are recognized by us we can speak of identification.
“Walking around the city, I identified the bar that my friend recommended to me.”
Meanwhile, with regard to the identification of people, we must speak of a social need for this action since it is through it that they can be recognized and actions can be attributed to them, including contributions and achievements and on the other hand also criminal acts for which he must answer to justice. Without the corresponding identification it will not be possible to recognize or punish someone.
So, the term identification is used to designate the act of identifying, recognizing or establishing the main data and information about a person.
Registries of people where the citizens of a nation are identified and official documentation is issued to them that proves their identities
In order to satisfactorily comply with this recognition, each country has a public registry of natural and legal persons; In the first case, it is usually called the National Registry of People, an organization in which the identification of individuals is processed as soon as they are born and thus an identity document can be issued to them.
There your name and surname are recorded and a unique number is assigned to them that will also correspond to the documentation that is issued to you after the procedure, for example, the national identity document.
Many times just by mentioning that number it is possible for them to identify us.
Fingerprints and DNA are also other ways to identify a person.
identity document synonym
Identification, in addition to being an act or action to be carried out in certain situations, can also be the name given to certain documents whose objective is precisely to establish the identity of a person or individual. Although the notion of identification relates primarily to humans, it can also be used with animals when it is necessary to establish their identities in particular situations (such as when identifying a pet with a specific collar or when identifying an animal wild to be able to continue analyzing their behavior).
Identification is one of the most important elements in the life of all human beings. This is so since having an identity is always extremely relevant when it comes to forming a person’s personality and quality of life. Identity is given mainly by the compound name and surname, but also by elements such as belonging to a nation, a peer group, a certain religion, an ethnic group, etc. The recognition, then, of these identifying data is essential so that such a person can be fully assumed as such.
When we talk about identification we also refer to all those documents that serve to legally and officially identify each individual. In this sense, papers such as identity documents, passports, driver’s licenses, identity cards, different types of cards, and even consumer cards serve as elements to give identity to each individual.
Due to this situation, the concept is normally used as a synonym for identity document.
Although not all of them are necessary (except for an identity document), having them helps the person to carry out more activities without endangering their freedom or comfort (since, for example, without a passport one cannot travel abroad).
And on the other hand, the term can be used to designate the action of considering two different things so that they appear as one. This is usually done with conflicting actions or issues so that they are not linked in a negative way. For example, studying with boredom.
