Photos prove you owned something. **Receipts** prove what you paid and when, and **serial numbers** prove which exact unit was yours. Claimfrog keeps both with the item. They strengthen claims on high-value items and help police identify stolen property.

## Add a receipt

1. Open the item and click **More details**.
2. Under **Receipt**, click **Upload Receipt** and choose a photo or PDF of the receipt or invoice.
3. Click **Save**.

Fill in the **Original Purchase Price**, **Date of Purchase** and **Place of Purchase** too. The purchase date is what [ACV estimates](https://www.claimfrog.com/help/replacement-value-vs-actual-cash-value) use to work out wear.

## Add a serial number

1. Find the label, usually on the back or bottom of the item.
2. Open the item, click **More details** and type it into **Serial / SKU**.
3. Add a close-up photo of the label and tag it as **Serial label**.

## Find what's missing

On the **Items** page, the **Missing receipt** and **Missing serial number** filters list the items to work on. Start with electronics and anything over a few hundred dollars.

## Tip

Lost the receipt? Look in your email for order confirmations, or download order history from the store's website, and upload that instead.
