Ok ..... I have read about so many documents thatI can send with the N-400 (Marraige based), I have no tickets and no criminal problems but when i read the application it only stated:For more information on the documents you must sendwith your application, see the Document Checklist inthe Guide
And when I checked the guide, it said:
All applicants must send the following 3 things with their N-400 application:
1. A photocopy of both sides of your Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as the Alien Registration Receipt Card or “Green
Card”). If you have lost the card, submit a photocopy of the receipt of your Form I-90, Application to Replace Alien Registration
Receipt Card;
2. Two (2) identical color photographs, with your name and “A” number written lightly in pencil on the back of each. For details
about the photo requirements, see part 5 of A Guide to Naturalization and the Form M-378 instructions distributed with your
application. Do not wear eyeglasses or earrings for the photo. Note that if your religion requires you to wear a head covering,
your facial features and your right ear must still be exposed in the photo for purposes of identification; AND
3. A check or money order for the application fee and the fingerprinting fee, as stated in the M-479 Current Naturalization Fees
enclosure in the Guide. (Applicants 75 years of age or older are exempted from fingerprinting and the fingerprinting fee). Write
your “A” number on the back of the check or money order.
Also
If you are applying for naturalization on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen, send the following 4 things:
1. Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for the last 3 years:
• birth certificate (if your spouse never lost citizenship since birth), OR
• naturalization certificate, OR
• certificate of citizenship, OR
• the inside of the front cover and signature page of your spouse’s current U.S. passport, OR
• Form FS240, “Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America”

2. Your current marriage certificate; AND

3. Proof of termination of ALL prior marriages of your spouse (divorce decree(s), annulment(s), or death certificate(s)); AND

4. Documents referring to you and your spouse:
• tax returns, bank accounts, leases, mortgages, or birth certificates of children, OR
• IRS-certified copies of the income tax forms that you both filed for the past 3 years, OR
• an IRS tax return transcript for the last 3 years.

My question are these documents enough to send? or do I need to send copy of passport and other things?
2. I had a speeding ticket 4 years ago, which question do I say yes for, and do I nee to mail my driving record too? It does not show there.

Just send the documents mentioned in the document checklist. Make sure that you write you name and A # in pencil on the back of the photograps. Make a copy of everything. As far as the ticket is concerned do the following:
- Get a copy of the court disposition of the ticket. (Date of Ticket, Fine etc.). This can ususally be got by paying a few dollars to the court wherein the ticket was processed.

- Say "YES" to Question # 16 (Part 10 -- Section D Good Moral Character) of the N-400 form. Explain in the box below or attach a sheet if there is less space.

Do NOT mail:
Driving Records
Copy of Passport
Ticket information (Unless the fine was more than $500.00 or was DUI related).

For the Interview take all the documents mentioned in (N 400 What documents for the interview http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=197782

This should be more than enough.
