The best way to safeguard your vital documents is to upload photographs of the documents into your email box. In the event of a fire incident or any other unforeseen disaster, you can walk into any cyber cafe and print out new copies. How does your phone come in?
After taking photographs of the documents with your phone, go to your email box via the phone. Compose an email and insert the photographs as attachments. Save the message as draft (if you have only one email address) or send the message to your other email address(es) if otherwise. For easy reference, create a MY DOCUMENTS folder (or label) in each of the email boxes and store the message there.
To print out new copies, go to a cafe and access your email box on the computer. Download and save the needed picture into the computer's MY DOCUMENTS. Open a Microsoft Word page,insert the picture into it, stretch the picture to fill the whole page and save. Then go and print.
Saving your documents into your email box this way also enables you to upload the documents when applying for scholarships, etc without having to pay extra money for scanning. Just download as above and upload into the desired web page.
NOTE: Never upload the pictures of your documents into Facebook or other sites that are accessible to the public. Otherwise, crooks can download the pictures and use the details to steal your identity.
