Creating a PCS Binder
Keeping your CONUS or OCONUS move organized is easier than you might think, especially if you use a PCS binder. If you're new to the military lifestyle, a PCS binder is simply a binder that holds all your important documents and paperwork. It can be customized specifically for the needs of you and you family, and as a bonus, there's absolutely no right or wrong way to create one!
15 basic items that we suggest having in your binder include:
1. Passports
2. Personal documents
3. Medical documents
4. Insurance documents
5. Marriage license
6. Pet health records
7. Car documents (such as the title)
8. Children's school records
- 9. Important contacts
10. Copies of orders (we recommend having multiple copies)
11. Housing information
12. Travel reservations/information
13. Birth certificates
14. Social security cards
15. Moving company information
Again, however, you can customize it exactly to your family's needs!
As a team of military spouses and veterans, we have printable PCS binder documents that you can save and use for your own PCS move!
