The Appointment

You must sit.

You must attend.

And make the pledge.

Ensure you are certified.

Bring a recent utility notice.

Has a citizen known you?

Talk with your local pharmacist. 

Laser copies are not acceptable.

Write your name on the back of a photo.

Don’t obscure the image.

Provide a full-faced view.

Tell us about your convictions.

Good character requires a case by case.

List what occupies you.

Do you play competitive tennis or CEO?

Have you installed a sea?

We value a fair go.

From this time forward you are under (God).

Your convictions have been quashed.

Your identity will be returned to you.

We strongly advise you keep a copy.
