Questions and instructions

Literal question

Now I would like to talk to you about experiences that some people have in accessing certain essential government services.
55. In the past 12 months have you tried to get an identity document like a birth certificate, driver’s license, passport or voter’s card, or a permit, from government?
F. And how often, if ever, did you have to pay a bribe, give a gift, or do a favour for a government official in order to get the document you needed?
