You should get a copy of your permanent record. You can get this if you write to your home town's bureau of records if you pass yourself off as an employer or a police department. I had no idea something like that existed. I really don't see why I would have a permanent record. What's on it...two speeding tickets?

Birth Certificate is good, passport would work too. If you can get away with a copy of your Birtch Certificate that's even better.

Shot history would be good, your family doctor you've been seeing should be enough as whatever doc you go to should cross-ref. However, for a dentist they won't so if you can get your last complete set of x-rays that would be helpful.

Proof that you are elgible to work in the US is helpful too. Passport or Social Security Card.

Proof of insurance, health and auto.

Checkbook as well as bank statements.



uhm...? Put all of that in an envelope and send it to me, I'll look after it for you. Shot history is kinda more because I am in the military and all. I presume with the dentist I can just keep a business card from my old dentist and they can just fax any new information. I just got my wisdom teeth out a month ago so I'll need new xrays next time I will go anyway.

Social Security card is a given. I have that at school with me but in a different place than I keep all other forms of identification.

Never had a passport actually. I don't even know how to get one.

Yeah, I keep the insurance card in my car. I double that as registration too.

If I knew everything that there was, then I wouldn't be asking for what to get.

OK I'll be good. Gawd I can't believe you guys fell for that. The "permanent record" was first mentioned in an episode of Leave It To Beaver in the 1950s. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/lol.gif The idea was subsequently picked up by Dobbie Gillis and I Love Lucy. It was briefly revived in the 1970s by Happy Days. we're not old enough to watch old geezer shows. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif

Though I do vaguelly remember watching a few happy days reruns as a kid. I never cared for the show much. It seemed horribly outdated. Yes I know it was supposed to take place in the 50's.

A separate fridge for the beers. Trust me.
