Before You Begin
This section is a short bulleted list indicating what the user will need to complete the form. This should focus on things that are needed in hand (credit card, document, reference number, scanned documents) versus things that they will know (name, address).

Keep this section short. Detailed information can be presented on the preceding informational pages.
