TIPS (Not technically required, but good procedures.)

1. Put your application number on each page you turn in. (Many new applications don't have a number, unless you applied online.)
2. Send application by method that allows you to prove when it was received. (Ex. FedEx, certified mail, return receipt requested, etc.)
3. If you were born outside the United States and are an American citizen, send a copy of your birth certificate and passport, if you have one.
4. Military applicants:
a) If applying for reduced fee because of past service in the military, include a copy of your DD214
b) If active military:\

1) send a copy of your military ID and your orders or LES
2) send a copy of Forum 522 to prove you qualified within five years

Suggestions from members' experiences:

1. Re: DD214s: Be sure to use an 11x17 copy or copy from the top and bottom of your DD214. Mine did not include the line that listed the Honorable Discharge and they requested a new copy.
