The message you get is translated as "Type of personal document [passport, etc. - T.] does not correspond to country of issue". Was there an option for a type of ID? If yes, this should generally be a passport for foreign citizens (military ID and other options are for Russian citizens only).
It doesn't seem to support entering foreign passport numbers (at least Norwegian passport numbers which are 8 digits)

The page says like this on the document number field:
"The information of passports or birth certificiates issued to foreign nationals is entered specifying the type of document (33)"

However the field only seem to support 9 digits or something like that. Not any more not less. So that is why I attempted to add a digit in the end.

Edit:
Found out the trick, I had to chose foreign document and not international passport (international passport is probably for Russian international passports - passport maze)
