The driver's licence "Viktor" has does not belong to him. When he hands his visa claim to the officer, he's using a driver's licence to fill all the forms. The licence is actually a driver's permit of The Republic of Belarus. It belongs to totally another person(Gulinara Nadyrauna Gulina, she is not Slavonic at all), the permit is issued in Homel, a southern Belarusian city, on 30/07/1997- probably this person either has lost it or it was taken away for some reasons, but it is still valid(30/07/2007). However, the Cyrillic and latin letters do not match at all, as one can notice- surname Gulina is much shorter than Navorski, even given the fact that Cyrillic and latin writings differ, it should not be so.

The passport of "Viktor" is actually a modified one of The Republic of Belarus. It has the same color, back page, and the coat of arms on the front page is the same as of a true passport, with the exception that our Belarussian coat of arms does not have a star on it.
Based on a true story of Iranian refugee Merhan Nasseri who still lives in an airport in France, having lost his papers, since 1988. (Although officials made leaving available for him after a while, he has chosen to stay there.)
Steven Spielberg cut a line from the film where Hanks's character is getting help using a phone card and says, "Home phone, home phone!". Spielberg cut this because he didn't want comparisons to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and the famous lines "Phone home."
The girl with the suitcase that Viktor tries to help is Steven Spielberg's daughter Sasha.
When Viktor is about to be forced onto the plane back home, Dixon pulls up a chair with a cup of coffee in his hand, watches the security camera screens, and whistles the melody to "For All We Know (We May Never Meet Again)".
