NordPass users looking for a quick and easy way to access vital documents can now store them online. In a Tuesday blog post, NordPass introduced Documents, a new storage option that uses an encrypted vault to house digital copies of physical documents in the cloud.
In its post, NordPass cited passports, IDs, and driver's licenses, but you can store any type of physical document that can be scanned or saved electronically. Offering you up to 3GB of space, Documents does require a $1.49-per-month Premium plan or a $2.79-per-month Family plan.
Documents is actually a new feature for the NordPass Vault, which normally holds your passwords and passkeys. Other password managers also let you securely store different types of items. NordPass is not only following suit but is kicking in a few extra perks.

Beyond simply storing your documents, you can create important reminders for them. For example, you could set a reminder to alert you if your driver's license or passport is expiring and due for renewal. You'll receive the notifications via email and in the NordPass app itself, so you won't miss them.
After you scan the documents you want to store, NordPass helps you upload them. You can even set up custom fields to save key details on each document so you can quickly find and reference any of them. You're able to upload files saved as JPGs, PNGs, PDFs, or specific formats with their own built-in security. But your file must be less than 40MB in size.
NordPass also touted the benefits to families. Couples can scan and store such physical documents as marriage certificates, birth certificates, and insurance papers. Parents can add and manage documents for their children, including medical records and school reports.
NordPass is available on the web, as a Windows and Mac app, and as an iPhone and Android app. That means you can access your scanned documents not just from your computer but from your mobile device when you're on the go.
