Two choices:
1. Keep the required identity documents in your files for 5 years; or
2. Make the following endorsement in both your and the student's lolgbook:
I certify that [insert student's name] has presented me a [insert type of document presented, such as a U.S. birth certificate or U.S. passport, and the relevant control or sequential number on the document, if any] establishing that [he or she] is a U.S. citizen or national in accordance with 49 CFR 1552.3(h). [Insert date and instructor's signature and CFI number.
If it your kid and not a more remote relative, you probably have some of the documents in your permanent files (birth certificate). And, if it's your kid or a sibling and not a more remote relative, I wouldn't worry about it either, although technicalities are technicalities.
