Name and birth places of both for each of your parents.
Mother’s maiden name.
Social Security card for both of you, unless you don’t have one.

You can also use a birth certificate if you also have a picture ID.Certified copy of any recent divorce decree. In some counties, you must present this document if the divorce happened within the past 30 days. In other counties, you must present it if the divorce occurred within the past six months.;
