Please advise?

Thanks in advance

Only important stuff like visas, birth certificates etc I would have thought, stuff you can't afford to lose.. Bank statements and other stuff chuck in the container.

Hi Vicksy,
I have moved this to the Moving back to the Uk forum for you. You'll most likely get some more useful information here.
Good luck with your move back to the UK!

Re: Please advise?
If you have time, scan as much as possible (education records, important receipts, birth certs etc) and ditch old paperwork that you don't need. I got rid of as much as possible. I didn't carry birth certs with me, but depending on your circumstances, it may be wise to do so.
I would recommend that you get a copy of your driving record from the appropriate authority and also ask your insurer or broker for your claims history for both your car and house. You may find this helpful when trying to buy insurance at this end.
I have to keep my tax returns and receipts for 7 years, but I just shipped them. I figured that even if they were destroyed enroute I could recreate them.
Keep a note of your National Insurance number and your National Health number, if you have them. Don't worry if you don't as they can usually be found on your behalf.
If you need to re-establish a credit rating in the UK, then a copy of your most recent credit history may help, but then again it may prove to be useless.
Good luck with your move.

If you will be renting it can demonstrate solvency as you will fail the usual credit score checks such as electoral roll.
I would recommend a 'keep on my person folder' with plastic pocket sleeve thingies and file in it, passport, original insurance docs, recent bank statements, tax stuff, birth certs, NHS number, National Insurance Number, admin items it would be hard to replace if they were to go missing in container.
Good luck with the move.
