We begin accumulating vital documents at infancy. These travel with us throughout life – that is, unless they are lost along the way! How have new parents kept this information organized in the past? Filed away (or tossed) in a cabinet or dresser drawer?

There is much emphasis placed on preparing for a newborn; however, many forget the administrative preparation until the baby has arrived. It is important to have a reliable system in place for this information before your child arrives and life gets a little more chaotic.

You will need to register the birth of your child as well as apply for a birth certificate and social security number. In some cases, you may need to apply for a passport which will require several forms of documentation for yourself, your spouse and your child. Refer to U.S. Department of State guidelines to navigate this process. Orggit's Filing Cabinet is the perfect place to store electronic copies of these critical documents, as well as your child’s health insurance policy and health care receipts from the frequent doctors’ visits.

During this period, you will also be monitoring your newborn's schedule of recommended vaccinations. Although immunization records are a critical part of your child’s personal health information, in most states, the responsibility of maintaining accurate records falls upon the parents. Luckily, Orggit makes it easy to store these records so you will never lose track. Taking the time to secure this important information at the beginning of your child’s life will be extremely beneficial for years to come.
