Record-keeping habits that hold up when travel history is questioned
What to keep alongside your day counter so dates are credible years later.
Digital ledgers work best when they align with corroborating documents: leases, utility bills, employer attestations, and mobility invoices. You do not need to attach every file to every stay, but you should be able to map stay rows to evidence if asked.
Timestamp when you add or edit entries. Some teams keep a change log; others rely on app history. The goal is to show good faith and consistency, not perfection on day one.
If you discover an error, correct it and note the reason. Silent edits across many rows erode trust; documented fixes demonstrate care.
Retain data for the statute of limitations in each relevant jurisdiction—often several years after filing.
