Can I travel with a photocopy of my passport?
Answer: No, you cannot travel internationally without a valid passport. Photocopies of passports are not acceptable. If you need your passport to travel internationally and do not have time to wait for routine processing, then you can apply for expedited passport renewal.
Should you carry your passport around?
Your passport needs to be in your carry-on bag while traveling, rather than in checked luggage, which has a higher risk of getting lost or being stolen. If you need your passport for a day trip, place it in a secure pocket or part of the bag you’re carrying.
How do you carry your passport when traveling?
It’s generally inadvisable to carry your passport with you everywhere while you’re traveling, as this increases the chances of losing it. Ideally, it’s best to have passports locked away, either in a hotel room safe or in a suitcase with a secure travel lock.

- Travel insurance.
- Driver’s license.
- Health information (see What’s my basic medical info? for details)
Should you carry your passport in your wallet?
The number one thing you should not carry in your wallet is your social security card. You should also never carry your passport in your wallet. Even if you are traveling in a foreign country, leave your passport in your hotel and just carry a photocopy of the picture page.
Should I take a picture of my passport?
In addition to having a copy of your passport handy, the U.S. Department of State recommends that you keep two extra passport photos with the copy of the passport. Having the photos helps you avoid having to have them retaken if you have to apply for a replacement passport.
