As soon as you need to find the Inn number, the certificate of property or the medical policy of the child, nothing will happen ... And all because you have no habit of sorting documents and store them in one place. Meanwhile, it is extremely important to do it - in case of an emergency, you can grab the bag with documents and run out of the apartment, and not lose literally half of life. With no paper, we are bugs - we will learn from our mistakes.
Stationery
First of all, you need to buy packing files with mounting holes, on a folder-recorder for each family member and choose where they will be stored - in a case, fabric bag or just on the cabinet shelf. Additionally, we advise you to purchase dividers - with them documents can be sorted by themes: health, education, property, etc.

Review all the shelves
To find old documents, inspect all the "cereal" places in the house: shelves, desktop, boxes, and so on. Finding a document, immediately fold it into a separate file in the desired folder. If some documents, for example, the rights to the apartment or mortgage obligations, are directly related to several family members, make them photocopies. On the back of the sheet, sign in which folder is the original document and fold the copy to the desired folder.
Duration of the statute
If you pay for taxes, utility housing and communal services and other departments, not online, receipts automatically oblige you to store them for a while. So the Ministry of Finance gave an indication that it is necessary to store receipts about paying taxes for 4 years - after this period you can destroy them. The receipts on payment of utility services should be kept for 3 years - after this time, the limitation period ends. Checks for tax deductions should be kept also 3 years - this is the period during which you can return 13% of the cost of treating teeth or training in a driving school. Such documents as evidence to the apartment, about marriage or the birth of the child should be kept forefined.

We destroy documents
Most unpervently refers to overdue documents, considering that they can simply be thrown into the trash, alleged their personal data is not needed. Meanwhile, we advise you to break on the unreadable parts absolutely all the documents you are going to destroy them. We never know who will fall into hand, it would seem that a unnecessary document is to better protect yourself from unnecessary problems.
