Check the passport validity, supporting copies, and any booking confirmation before you travel. If the route asks for legalised or translated documents, keep them in the same order as the checklist.

At the appointment

Answer clearly and consistently. If a document supports your answer, keep it ready rather than searching for it on the spot.

After the appointment

Keep notes on any request for additional information. If follow-up is required, respond quickly and keep the file structure intact.
