Maj Belmont's assistant Ms. Rush told me that copies of my Birth Certificate, SS Card, and Immunization Forms will be sufficient, provided that I had mailed in all the other required documents.

It's a generic government issued version. No commercial brand.

I neatly organized all my supplies into ziplock bags. I have yet to write my name on them.
