Plan the sequence before ordering documents
Confirm the procedure, issuing country and document format first. Apostilles, legalizations, translations and appointment timing can affect what you need to prepare and when.
If you have dependents, previous residence in several countries, or a change of name, include that context in your inquiry. Leave passport numbers and sensitive records out of the initial message.
