Chassis and engine numbers must be transcribed character by character; never guess look-alike letters. International driving permits cite the convention they issue under; state the correct convention year. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. Documents with a short validity window should be produced as close to the filing date as possible.
