  • Government-issued photo identification, such as a valid passport or driver’s license.

Possible forms of identification include your passport, birth certificate (with an English translation) or an affidavit.

Telehealth

If you decide to schedule a virtual visit:

To make your visit as effective as possible, it is recommended that you at least have access to a home thermometer.  Additionally, an automatic blood pressure monitor would be helpful for anyone, but in particular those who are over 60, have high blood pressure or suspected COVID-19 cases.  If you are diabetic, it would be beneficial to have a glucometer.
