I have a filing cabinet that I file less important things in. I am pretty paperless these days--no credit card statements through the mail, for example. Important papers are kept in a small desk drawer. Eventually I'd like to get a fire-resistant safe.
I have redundancy in that there are multiple copies of my birth certificate--my parents keep one in their files, and I keep two of them. Washington State made it fairly easy a few years back to get new copies of a birth certificate. If I want another copy, I just have to go to any county's vital statistics office and get one. When I go to renew my passport this year, I'll be looking into duplicates, and I want to get one of the new passport cards, since one of the places I like to travel to is Canada. I also have two Social Security cards, because one ended up misplaced, I had to go get a new one, and then I ended up finding the other.
