Where do you store your passport?

Here are three of the most commonly used methods to store a passport:
  1. Safety deposit box.
  2. Filing cabinet.
  3. Home safe.




While traveling, the best place to store your passport depends on whether you are "in transit" or have reached your destination. When moving through airports or borders, keep it in a secure, zipped pocket on your person or in a dedicated "neck wallet" or "money belt" hidden under your clothes. Never put your passport in a checked bag or an outer "easy-access" pocket of a backpack where it could be easily swiped. Once you arrive at your hotel, the safest place is the in-room electronic safe. If your room doesn't have one, keep it locked inside your hard-shell suitcase using a TSA-approved lock. It is generally recommended not to carry your physical passport with you while sightseeing; instead, carry a high-quality paper photocopy or a digital photo on your phone for identification purposes. This prevents the nightmare scenario of losing your primary travel document to a pickpocket or accidental misplacement while exploring a new city. Always keep a backup photo of your passport in a secure cloud-based folder (like iCloud or Google Drive) in case of emergencies.
