One evening, one vault: how to get your household documents in order

Getting organised sounds like a project. In practice it's an evening at the dining table with a phone camera.

Start with the essentials

For each person in the household: ID or birth certificate, medical aid card, and any policy that would matter in an emergency. Photograph them and upload. Centris reads each one, works out what it is, files it under the right person and category, and pulls out the details that matter.

Then let the score guide you

Your Preparedness Score shows exactly what's still missing and how important each gap is, so the next ten minutes always go to the document that counts most.

What changes

Nothing dramatic — until the day someone needs a document urgently. 

Then the difference between a calm five minutes and a bad afternoon is whether you did this evening's work.
