Documents You Should Have on Hand

- Valid passport
- Visa or appropriate immigration permit
- ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), ideal if you don’t have a Social Security Number
- State ID or driver’s license, depending which State you’re in (depending on the state you’re in)
Konecta helps you with certified translations of these documents, since many institutions require that the documents be in English. Konecta can also guide you through the process of applying for local ID’s.
