That`s about it. About the bank statements or bills, U can bring some just in case to show that u have been living in the same house for the past 3 months.

@Medtav: I would bring all the ####### including utility bills and what have you....better be over prepared than not having something an overachiever IO might ask for. I doubt you'll need any of them, but you know....and ALL THE BEST!!!

My husband took a binder with all the documents you mentioned as well as bank statements, bills, pictures, insurance papers etc. This was mainly because I am OCD and I put together this binder. The IO only looked at my husband's green card, license and passport.

Good luck to you!!

Do you have to bring information on traffic tickets? I thought USCIS states that basic traffic infractions do not count as legal issues for this process?

Also, you have to bring proof of Selective Service registration? My husband obtained his automatically when going to the DMV in Illinois, they didn't give him any documentation on it. You just go to the website and it shows he's registered. If so, how does one obtain documentation on this?

Traffic tickets are a controversial topic here in the N400 forum. Some say its something you need to disclose, but do not need evidence for if under $500, some say you don't even need to disclose if it was a fine under $500. Personally, I have a traffic ticket with a fine of $112 that I got last November 2013. I paid my fine in the mail. I disclosed it in my form and I just called my county to ask for a receipt to be safe.

Not sure about selective service.. best of luck!

Hmm, my husband had 1 traffic ticket (which was promptly paid) and I confused the N-400 instructions stating you didn't need to provide documentation for standard traffic violations. I took that as you didn't have to report it on the form so I didn't include it. Hopefully it's ok!

My husband had two traffic tickets, each under $500 and both cleared through traffic school. Again, because of my OCD, I had him get a letter from the courthouse stating that both tickets had been cleared and he took those letters along with his traffic school paperwork and payment receipts to his interview. The IO asked if my husband had any DUI arrests and my husband replied "no", and that was that.

When my husband registered for the Selective Service, he got a confirmation letter with his registration number on it. That was the number we put on the N-400 when it asked.

I got the number from Illinois' Selective Service website for the form. We probably received a letter a long time ago, but I didn't think it would come up on the naturalization form since no other forms asked about it.

I'm sure I can find a place to request an official letter. Thanks!
