Do you believe that there are three (3) common documents that we will use in our life span? If yes, then do you think you know what are these?

Believe it or not, there are three (3) common documents that compel us to use whether it's for school, for work, or personal matters. These documents very much tell about us or someone close to us, and that is from life to death.

The intriguing three (3) documents are the Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, and Death Certificate. One way or another we all use these documents. Most of the time it describes our existence and absence in this life.

The Birth Certificate.

It is the main document that proves or disapproves of our existence. In a birth certificate, we have the information about our parents - the name of our father and mother, where they live, and their birth dates too. This certificate is essential and needed from the time we are all born. It is in demand and the most requested document. It starts from elementary to high school to college, and even up to the time that we work, it is needed.

The Marriage Certificate.

I think this document, whether single or married, we'll be needed in some circumstances like school, work, or claiming of inheritance.

In school, students present the Marriage Certificates of their parents to prove that they are sons and daughters. While at work, it is requested to prove if you're married or not. For inheriting properties, it is a requirement to present the individual as the rightful heir.

The Death Certificate.

When it is about personal matters, we won't be using this kind of document if it is about us, but our heirs will do. Those that we will be leaving behind. Or us to our parents.
