Government-issued photo identification, such as a valid passport or driver’s license. If you are 14 years old or younger, bring identification that shows your name, date and place of birth and parent’s full name. Possible forms of identification include your birth certificate (with an English translation) or an affidavit.
Health insurance card. You should ask if the civil surgeon accepts your medical plan for immigration medical examinations. Many health insurance plans do not cover all portions of this examination.

Our Direct Responsibility
Civil surgeons must follow specific identification procedures, prescribed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to ensure that the person appearing for the medical examination is the person who is actually applying. The civil surgeon is responsible for the entire examination, including chest radiographs, when required, and necessary laboratory procedures. The civil surgeon is also responsible for reporting the results of all the required tests and consultations on the prescribed forms. The civil surgeon is not responsible for determining whether an applicant is actually eligible to adjust their status; that determination is made by the DHS officer after reviewing all records, including the report of the medical examination.
