leaving only the id as Pk will allow another Person to rgister with the same document like this

2     123          555        XXXX


and that would be an inconsistency no?

Why? If you don't want duplicates, add a unique constraint to the database and handle the failures on insert/update.

It depends on your model whether this is valid or not.

And it is still considered "good style" to never use something with an outside meaning as a pk. At least with EOF it makes your life much easier.
