Here is what I send all of my applicants:
1.Fill out your 8130-6 Application for airworthiness.
http://forms.faa.gov/forms/faa8130-6_9_12_2008.pdf
Make sure it is exactly as your registration. In section III Owner's Certification, check the AD box, and then put in the
date of the nearest biweekly AD update from the FAA.gov website:
http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAD.nsf/MainFrame?OpenFrameSet
2. Write up your Program Letter requesting certification. For the test
area write: 35 nm radiius of the airport from which you are going to be based. We can discuss this if it's not really suited due to congested areas.
3. Complete an inspection checklist such as the one in the EAA packet. Any thing that is not applicable, such as carb heat,
just write N/A. Make an entry in the aircraft logbook that you have performed an inspection and find it to be in an airworthy condition. Sign and date it.
4. Don't forget the notarized Eligibility Statement.
http://forms.faa.gov/forms/faa8130-12.pdf
5. You will need your White hardcopy of the registration on the day of the inspection.
6. Follow the steps on the EAA link for guidance.

7. Make sure the data plate exactly matches the registration document, in the EXACT order.
8. Make sure you make an entry in the logbook that you have inspected the aircraft and find it in a condition for safe operation.
I will need 2 copies plus the originals of:
Application for airworthiness
Notarized Eligibility statement (copies of the original are fine, don't
notarize all of them)
Weight and balance
Program letter
The airplane should be in the same state as for a condition inspection, with all inspection panels and cowlings removed.
