Routine Information Schedules

Information is routine if it supports day-to-day work but is not required to be kept long-term or transferred to the government archives.

Records included in Routine Information are created as part of ongoing and regular business operations, and do not document government decisions. As such, Routine Information can be securely destroyed after any legal and/or business need has passed as part of routine practice, and does not require formal authorization.

Browse the retention bands below to learn how to keep or securely destroy routine information. Before applying a routine information band, always check first if there's a Critical Information schedule that applies. If your program area is unsure which retention band to use, connect with your GIM Specialist
