Tarjeta de Servicios Universalis

The  (lit. Universal Services Card), frequently abbreviated as TSU, is the standard in Ventora. It is mandatory for all nationals and necessary for foreign nationals with residence status in order to access healthcare and other social services. Upon birth registration, Ventoran nationals receive their unique Universal Services Number (: Número de Servicios Universales, NSU) which is used for identity purposes and to access all social services. The NSU is assigned by the Directorate General for Nationalities in the Interior Commission. It may be renewed online or at any police station.

History
The TSU was introduced in 1915 to identify military veterans, particularly those who served during the First World War, in order to facilitate veteran services, such as housing assistance, medical care, and military pensions. In 1935, the TSU subsumed identification cards issued by the duchies in order to centrally manage military service obligations. Following the Second World War, the TSU became the means for all citizens to access healthcare and old age pensions beginning in 1947.

In 1965, the Commonweal Commission rationalized the various healthcare and social welfare schemes so the TSU serves as the single identification for accessing those services. Vehicle and vessel operating license information was added to the TSU in 1974. Such efficiencies now allow Ventorans to apply for a Ventoran passport using their NSU, providing minimal information, such as their current residence location, and paying the passport fee.

With the advent of technology, the TSU is now a that includes  information and can be used as an. In addition to accessing domestic benefits programs, the TSU may also be used in lieu of a passort for travel to Renesia.
