Here's what you'll need. When you apply for life insurance,

for some basic information about yourself, your lifestyle, and your overall health.

00:28:18 - 00:33:00
You may also be asked to provide your Social Security and driver's license numbers,

00:33:00 - 00:37:06
some family medical history, and details about your job and hobbies.
