Which AP Documents to Carry?

I have received two copies of AP, both are originals. Do I need to have both the originals to show at PoE? Why have they given two copies?

Along with AP documents, I received some stickers with SRC numbers but some have bar codes on them. What do those mean and do I need to carry them as well?

Please help.
 
You need to show only one Copy at the POE. I have read some other threads where members have mentioned that they gave one to the Airline, one at the POE and then just carried one copy after that when traveling abroad and returning to the US.
I have extensively used AP for 3 years, but always showed only one Copy of the AP at the POE, it was stamped over and over again for subsequent trips, but I always showed only one copy. I however, used to carry the second copy with me but never showed it and was never asked for it either.

Not sure about the barcodes though, since I have not received them in the past.
 
I'd agree with rg585 in that you only need to carry one original. The airline will take a copy of this at check-in, so you may want to take a copy beforehand to speed up the check-in process.

I did however have one strange occurence in about fifty uses of AP when the officer asked me how many AP originals I had. I told him "two", and he asked if I had the second on me, which I did. He then stamped this one too, claiming that the rule is that although you only need to carry one, they are required to stamp all the originals that you have with you.
