Step 1: Gather Your Tribe (aka Documents)
First things first, you'll need to round up your document posse. Think of it as assembling the Avengers, but instead of saving the world, you're saving yourself from ID-less despair. You'll need proof of identity, Social Security number, and residency. It's like a real-life game of "I Spy," but with way less fun.

QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Pro tip: Check online for wait times. It's like planning a Black Friday shopping trip, but with less consumerism and more eye-rolling.
