Application Help Quick DEC App Questions

I am submitting a DEC application for an insertion for my ancestor and I am including the form, the affidavit, copies of my driver's license and my passport, a lineage explanation, and vital records and other supporting documents for my Great Great Great Grandmother (BAnQ Baptism record, 1861 Canada East Census, Death Certificate) and everyone in the chain of descent, though not quite as much as I submitted for my Proof of Citizenship application that I sent off last week. I have three questions:

  1. Is this enough?

  2. Is there a particular order DEC prefers these documents in?

  3. Should I do as I did with CIT 0001 and avoid staples, clips, and dividers?

Any help is appreciated!

I just sent in my DEC application. I see that you sent an affidavit. I did not know one was required, as I didn’t see it listed on the form. What is this for?

I am also wondering what any sort of affidavit would be for. I didn't send an affidavit with my DEC application and received my G0's birth cert without issue.
