Tips for using this checklist

Start with what you use most

Begin by gathering documents you access frequently—IDs, insurance cards, and school forms. You'll feel progress quickly.

Don't try to finish in one sitting

Tackle one category at a time. It's better to fully organize medical documents than to half-organize everything.

Note where originals live

Some documents (like birth certificates) should stay in a safe. Note in PaperPilot where the physical original is stored.

Set a yearly review reminder

Insurance cards, medical records, and school forms change. Schedule an annual review to keep everything current.
