We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.

You can complete the Acrobat Reader form online, print the completed form, then sign your form in the presence of a Notary Public and mail the form to us. None of your personal financial information will be transmitted over the Internet.

If you prefer, instead of completing your form online you can either download the application form file and complete it off-line, or print a blank copy of the application form and complete it at your convenience.
