The document is made of neobond paper and has a security feature against a backlight which looks like a watermark – see image
Document number:

 

On all outer pages, 6 red numbers in letterpress printing; printed above the cinegram on the front page – see images
Reaction to UV light:

 

The paper remains dark, the document number is red, there are green and red grains and various imprints – see image

Cinegram on the facing page, micro lettering on all pages. The material from which the document is made (neo bond paper) has coloured grains – see images
N.B.: There are excellent complete forgeries with original cinegrams, document numbers in letterpress printing as well as micro lettering and imprints visible under UV light which can scarcely be distinguished from originals.
The only way to tell a forgery from an original is the grains which have been imprinted and are not in the actual material from which the document is made!
