1. As you can see here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certified_copy), a notary public in the state of New York cannot make a true copy declaration. So, you will need to have the documents certified elsewhere (e.g. Vermont or Canada), or send originals. Documents will not be returned.

You will need to include your birth certificate (if you were born in Canada) or citizenship certificate* (if you were naturalized in Canada), and the children's birth certificates listing you as their father. You do not need to include your marriage certificate.

As to the children's ID (SS card and U.S. passport photo page), send standard copies, which do not have to be certified.

2. You need to complete the information for the child's mother on the application (do not leave sections blank...write N/A for questions that don't apply), but you do not need to send copies of any of her documents.

3. You can apply for the children's proof of citizenship immediately. You do not need to wait until you sponsor their mother.

*do not send the original of your citizenship certificate (unless you are requesting a replacement), because it will not be returned.
