Document

The issuance of a passport consists of the delivery of the document to a citizen by the State.

Expedition , from the Latin expeditio , is the action and effect of expediting (dispatching, forwarding, proceeding with a case). The issuance, therefore, can be the preparation and dispatch of certain documents or decrees. For example: “The judge has delayed issuing the certificates, but I think everything will be resolved before Friday” , “Until Dr. López Madariaga confirms the issuance of the receipt, I will not be calm” , “In ten minutes I will finish the issuance of the documents and I will be with you.”

With respect to documents, for example, we speak of passport issuance to refer to the action of granting a citizen their passport, once they have met the corresponding requirements. In this case, the completion of a form and the payment of a relatively low sum are usually required, especially considering that the validity of a passport is usually around ten years. On the other hand, all applicants must show their identity document and provide a photocopy of it, and minors are asked that their legal guardians do so as well.

The dispatch of goods

In a transaction, once the agreement has been established between the buyer and the seller, and the contract has been signed or the order has been placed, the supplier must proceed to send the items through the means of transportation that best fits the particular needs of the purchase and the customer's instructions. In addition to the merchandise, a document called a delivery note must be sent, which is not mandatory but is very common in this type of operations.

During the process of shipping goods, both parties usually have access to shipping management, which is carried out on the platform offered by the company in charge of this task. To carry out this control, it is normal to have a unique operation code, which allows access to data such as departure date, current location of the order and potential problems along the way.

An expedition can be, on the other hand, an excursion to a distant point, usually difficult to access: "Sir Wallace Goldsmith will participate in an expedition to the Amazon with the intention of finding a wild tribe about which there is little information." “The troops are preparing for an expedition into enemy territory,” “Two young people were injured when they were carrying out an expedition in the middle of the Peruvian jungle.”

The term is also used to name the group of people who carry out this type of excursion: “The expedition will arrive at the base in half an hour,” “The guide reported that the expedition was very well received by the local authorities, who were interested.” in investigative work .
