You will get used to the requirement to bring reams of original and copied paperwork with you.  When I went to register my daughter - then 3 - for school in expectation of our move here I didn't have her birth certificate.  I didn't think they might have a raft of people trying to register other people's kids for school!  Fortunately friends were coming out a few days later and brought it with them.  Problem solved!   They did accept the 'short' version of the birth certificate where the parents are not named so I'm still not sure what it added to the whole exercise. 

Good luck!
