I'm posting this in hopes it'll help someone else as they are compiling all of their paperwork, especially for "Proof of Relationship".

**Experts, please feel free to chime in and correct me if this is NOT an acceptable way to do it.**

When I was informed that you could use Facebook posts to help build your "Proof of Relationship", I was trying to wrap my head around how to print those since I have thousands of posts going back over 10 years and I didnt want to print off massive threads of posts from my timeline just for 1 specific post.

I then discovered the SAVE feature.

If you look at any post/status update, you'll see 3 dots "..." on the top right. Click that and you'll see SAVE LINK.

When you click Save, it'll tell you how many you've saved and give you the option to "Add to a Collection". I created a collection called "Scott & Kris" so that I could go through my history and save posts related to he and I into that folder.

Once you've gone through all your posts (its incredibly time consuming depending on how far you go back), you can retrieve them in an easy-to-print format.

Go back to your regular news feed. On the left you should see the normal options; New Feed, Messenger, Watch, any Shortcuts you created and in the Explore section you should see "Saved". Click that.

You are now see all the posts you Saved in one area.

Click on one of the posts and it will bring up JUST that post and you can print. This way, you get the specific posts you want to include to help your proof of residency without tons of unrelated posts included in the thread.

It shows:
  • You name as the poster
    If you tagged the other person or anyone else
    A location if you selected one
    The date you posted
    The body of the post itself
    Any comments made about the posts
    Along the top of the printed page it shows also provided the Facebook URL to that specific post.


(Hopefully one of the experts will chime in and let us know if this is an acceptable way to print off these posts. I also assume it is helpful to print these off in color and not just black and white?)
