See this course’s project requirements

A fictional identity-document readiness file with document purposes, issuing offices, official requirement questions, dependencies and safe replacement steps.

Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.

What to include

  • Fictional purpose/issuer inventory.
  • Exact supplied checklist and missing evidence.
  • Dependency loop and alternate-evidence question.
  • Minimized project record.
  • Provisional sequence with honest request status.

Review and revise

Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.

  • Inventory separates record purpose and responsible issuer while omitting real identifiers.
  • Evidence checklist applies the exact supplied acceptance rules and counts missing slots accurately.
  • Dependency plan uses the stated alternate review without inventing acceptance or approval.
  • Status record separates available evidence, pending verification and actual receipt before preparing dependent requests.

The idea in everyday life

Fictional office checklist only: one accepted identity record from {certified birth record, valid passport}; two accepted current address records from {utility statement, bank statement}; photocopies are not accepted for identity. Inventory: certified birth record, utility statement and an expired unrelated club card.

The idea

Separate the number of evidence items from what each item must prove.

Read a state-ID requirement checklist — supplied practice

Separate the number of evidence items from what each item must prove.

Fictional office checklist only: one accepted identity record from {certified birth record, valid passport}; two accepted current address records from {utility statement, bank statement}; photocopies are not accepted for identity. Inventory: certified birth record, utility statement and an expired unrelated club card.

  1. 1. Step 1

    Match the certified birth record to the accepted identity list.

    You should see: It meets this fictional identity requirement.

  2. 2. Step 2

    Match the utility statement to one address slot.

    You should see: One of two required address items is present.

  3. 3. Step 3

    Exclude the club card because it is not on either accepted list.

    You should see: It cannot fill the missing address slot.

  4. 4. Step 4

    Record the missing bank statement or another actually accepted address item, without applying the fiction to a real state.

    You should see: One address item remains missing in the supplied checklist.

Now change one thing

Add an accepted current bank statement. How many required evidence slots remain missing?

Your work

What to finish

A checklist with accepted items and one missing evidence slot.

Common mistake

Watch for this

These are invented practice rules, not the current requirements of any state.

How can I tell I understand it?

Support each lesson-specific criterion with your supplied-case artifact: I used the exact accepted lists.; I counted identity and address separately.; I retained the distinction from actual requirements.
