Life admin: immigration, travel and family papers
Visa and immigration applications need clean copies of passports, certificates and forms, often in a set format and file type. Our guide on how to scan documents for USCIS walks through one of the strictest cases, and the same habits work for any embassy or consulate: one PDF per document, Grayscale for official records, and the page size the form asks for.
Before a trip, keep a passport copy on your phone. For both sides of an ID card or driver's license on one page, ID card mode (Premium) does the layout for you. Families can sort birth certificates, insurance cards and school forms into their own folders.
