Birth, Marriage and Death Certificate Storage
If you have certificates you wish to store safely first you need a good quality certificate binder. The storage method is critical for preservation of the certificates or documents. They need to be in acid free pockets which can be polypropylene or polyester. Avoid the cheap PVC pockets as these cause plasticiser migration into the document and print destroying the certificate.
