This is the situation in Germany for example. You need to keep many paper originals for 10 years. You can follow a process called „ersetzendes Scannen“ but I‘m not quite sure how that works.

For me I just scan everything and than put it in a binder with a label (like 2022-1) and put the same label on the digital document. This way I still have the document and will be able to find it if needed, but I don’t have to worry about where to put it. They all just go into the same binder until it is full.
