  1. Photo ID
  2. Claim Form and personal narrative (if you’ve started it)
  3. Personal comfort items
  4. Support person or support items

Please note that health cards are NOT acceptable forms of ID for privacy reasons. Membership cards issued by an organization, or cards issued by a city, municipality or region are also not acceptable forms of ID, as they are not issued by a state, provincial, territorial or federal government.
