How to keep your passport so you never lose it

Your trip can be disastrous if your passport is stolen. Here are some tips to help you keep your passport safe.

Always have several copies of your passport.

Before you leave, make several copies of your passport, including the page with your photo and personal information, and keep each copy in a separate bag. You can even ask someone traveling with you to keep a copy.

You should leave a copy at home for a colleague if you are traveling for work. As a last resort, you can give a copy to your emergency contact person. In case you need to renew your passport, carry a few passport-sized photos with you.

Always locked

No matter how fancy your hotel is, get into the habit of keeping your passport in a safe place. If your room doesn’t have a safe, ask the front desk for one. If you’re staying in an Airbnb or a hostel, get a lock for your suitcase.

Don't be careless

When traveling, you should keep your passport in a discreet place. You can use a waist bag inside your clothes, or buy a travel wallet, passport cover. Travel wallets also have space for cards and cash, very convenient for travelers.

Keep your passport safe

While travelers are just concerned about passport theft, there is another threat: passports damaged by moisture. One effective way to avoid this is to use a waterproof passport cover.

Use your passport only when necessary.

You will need your passport to go through security and customs. Otherwise, you can use your international driving license or a copy of your passport as identification.
