0 / 6 done

1. List essential identification, passport, insurance, housing and family contact documents relevant to your country.
2. Separate items that require originals from records where copies suffice, and let trusted family know the storage arrangement.
3. Store paper duplicates separately from originals and consider protection against water and fire.
4. Digitize only necessary records, with clear filenames and organized folders.
5. Protect digital copies with passwords and, where available, multi-factor authentication; never expose account numbers via public links.
6. Review the list after moves, insurance renewals or family changes, and ensure trusted household members can access it when needed.
