When traveling abroad, your passport is arguably your most important possession. Here's what you should do with it:
Keep it secure: Your passport is a valuable document. Store it in a secure place, ideally a passport%20holder worn under your clothing or in a hotel safe when not needed. Avoid keeping it in easily accessible places like back pockets or backpacks.
Carry it responsibly: While traveling, carry your passport with you only when necessary. Local laws may require you to have identification on you, but consider carrying a photocopy of your passport's identification%20page and your visa (if applicable) instead of the original.
Make copies: Before you leave for your trip, make several photocopies of your passport's identification page (the page with your photo and personal information). Keep these copies separate from your actual passport. Leave a copy with a trusted contact at home.
Digital Backup: Take a clear photo of your passport with your smartphone and email it to yourself or upload it to a secure cloud storage service. This provides an additional backup in case the physical copies are lost.
Safeguard from damage: Protect your passport from water damage, bending, or tearing. Consider using a passport%20cover to protect the physical integrity.
Report loss or theft immediately: If your passport is lost or stolen, report it to the local police and the nearest embassy%20or%20consulate of your home country as soon as possible. They can help you obtain an emergency passport.
Be aware of expiration dates: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in the foreign country. Some countries will deny entry if your passport expires sooner. Check the passport%20validity%20rules of your destination well in advance of your trip.
Don't use it as collateral: Never use your passport as collateral or for any illegal activities.
