Bevi,

As Karen suggested, why not a PDF with attachments? This approach would appear to meet your needs since it features the following attributes:

1) Stand-alone (No dependencies on government (or other) websites)
2) Non-technical (ie, easy for end-users with good PDF manipulation software)
3) The "connection" persists irrespective of location, network availability, etc, etc.
