No.

Thanks, I didn't think so - this looks just like the blank documents they sell to tourists.

The felt tip pin and different fonts of printing should be clues.

Too shiny surface, strange stamp, brand new looking outer appearance...

No go ! :(

I spotted these on the auction site. Only one of them is allegedly state security - MGB, but the picture has both in it. Since they are supposed to be for the same person, then it technically fits anyway.

If this turns out to be authentic (though I doubt that seriously), I will be pleasantly surprised since real MGB docs are few and far between.

I almost forgot to include the information provided by the seller in his listing:
"Description:

I don't see anything immediately wrong with them, but scans are not good enough to tell for sure.

Andreas,

Personally, I would not touch this one with a 10-foot pole, but that is just my opinion.
