your Social Security card or a valid passport number or I-94 card. You
may be asked for a certified copy of your birth certificate.
Previous Marriages: If you have been previously married, the date of
your divorce or date of your spouse's death must be supplied. If the
divorce or spouse's death occurred within the past 30 days, a certified
copy of the divorce decree or death certificate is required.
