You will need to present a photo identification, such as a driver’s license, state ID or passport. You will need your parents’ full names, including your mother’s maiden name, and their places of birth. If previously married, the date of divorce or date of spouse’s death must be provided. Bring a certified copy of the divorce decree or death certificate.
