Having an up-to-date home inventory list helps get your claim processed faster. Although creating a home inventory can be daunting, modern technology makes the process much easier. Here are some tips from the Insurance Information Institute for using technology to create a home inventory list.

Take pictures – Create a photo record of your belongings. Capture important individual items and entire rooms, closets, or drawers. Label your photos with what’s pictured, where you bought it, the make or model—whatever information might be important to replacing or getting reimbursed for the item. Use your smartphone or digital camera—some give you the capability to put in the item’s description when saving the photo.

Tape it – Walk through your house or apartment, videotaping and describing the contents. For example, you might describe the contents of a kitchen cabinet: “Poppies on Blue by Lenox, service for 12 that includes a dinner plate, salad plate, bowl, cup, and saucer. Purchased in 2015.”

Use an app – Many mobile app options can help you create and store a room-by-room record of your belongings.
