Im not sure if it was similarly complicated, but I didnt have to provide them with all that much info IIRC.

(57,486 posts)2. Service is handling mine as well. The form asked for things like my
ex-husband's birthday. I've been divorced 48 years and had to go look it up. Questions about past employers and education. Asked for parents' full names. Most time consuming for me was listing all civic, professional, and charity organizations I belong to and every country I've been to and the dates for last decade.
