Photocopying your passport is optional. But it can certainly help when unexpected situations occur. It may happen that your passport gets lost, damaged or stolen. Having a copy of your passport will help you speed up the process of getting a replacement passport. We recommend placing a copy in your backpack or carry-on luggage.

Remember! A copy of your passport is NOT a valid form of identification. While it can help you during administrative processes, you can only travel internationally with an original passport book.

We recommend either a neck wallet, fanny pack, or crossbody purse (Amazon) to carry your passport, phone, credit card, etc. while traveling in airports.
