Bring no more than three copy-paper-size boxes or three kitchen-trash-size bags per vehicle. Remain in your vehicle with documents ready; staples and paper clips can stay attached. Check the agency schedule before traveling.
Keep essential originals, including birth certificates and Social Security cards, securely stored rather than shredding them.
