Never be without crucial information again.

Ever find yourself rummaging through your glove box for an insurance card or walking back out to your car to remember your license plate number?

Here's a simple tip to save you time: Use your camera phone to photograph important documents and keep them in your phone's photo album.

Your license plate, auto insurance card, and vehicle registration are all good choices. While your phone's resolution might not be capable of photographing detailed documents, those little pieces of paper we all lose are a great place to start.

Remember-- if you photograph sensitive information, you'll want to be sure your phone is protected by a passcode or other security feature. Also, it's never a good idea to photograph account numbers or passwords.

While the photos aren't a legal substitute for proper paperwork, they can save you in a pinch.
