The documents needed were a passenger claim ticket, an inspection card (needed by third-class only), a visa, a contract, and a ticket.
There were some inspections but most of the health checks were on Ellis Island.

Passengers boarded the Titanic at Southampton. The ship made stops at Cherbourg and Cork. It sank some 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. So the countries that the Titanic and its crew and passengers passed were England, France, Wales, Republic of Ireland, and Canada. If the trip from the sea trials at Belfast to the passenger pick-up is included, then the ship and its crew passed Northern Ireland and Scotland. If a much more northerly route had been taken, then the ship would have passed Iceland and Greenland.
The decks of Titanic were made of entirely too much wood to pass any modern fire code. They have also long ago been eaten away by aquatic wood-boring creatures.

if your talking about a test I think they were required to pass a lice inspection before boarding the ship but I am not quite sure...

There were three passengers classes on most ships: first and second, which were cabin classes, meaning the passenger or family recieved a cabin or its own on board ship, and steerage class, where passengers slept in the hold (belowdecks) of the ship on bunks about 1/2 feet by 6 feet, with no privacy and no personal floor space or storage space. All steerage class passengers had to go to Ellis Island and pass medical tests and answer questions such as whether they were an anarchist.

Only steerage passengers were required to pass through Ellis Island because they were typically immigrants traveling in the cheapest accommodations and were more likely to be unvetted. First-class and cabin-class passengers, who could afford better accommodations, were often considered less of a risk for health issues or legal concerns, and thus underwent less scrutiny. This distinction allowed for a more efficient processing system, focusing resources on those deemed more likely to require inspection. Additionally, many wealthy passengers had already been pre-screened before boarding their ships.
