Package Checklist by Type
Each package type carries a required document set. Missing one document returns the package. Build the section's master checklist and run it before every walk or send.
Leader Steps
- Identify the package type
- Pull the document checklist for the type
- Verify each document is present, signed, and current
- Verify originals or certified copies where required
- Hand the package over only when the checklist is clean

Originals Versus Photocopies
Many life event packages require certified originals.
- Marriage certificates. Certified original from the issuing county.
- Birth certificates. Certified original.
- Death certificates. Certified original.
- Court orders. Certified original.
- Divorce decrees. Certified, final, not the petition.
Photocopies fail at the first PAC review. The Marine goes home, returns to county for the certified copy, and the 10-day window slips.
Signatures Before You Route
Most packages carry multiple signature blocks.
- Member.
- Spouse where applicable.
- Witness.
- Section leader.
- Endorsing official.
Verify every block is signed before the package routes. A missing signature returns the package.

Build a section-level master checklist covering every package type your Marines run.
- Type.

- S-1 or PAC point of contact.
Refresh annually or whenever a MARADMIN changes a process.
Where to Go Next
