Precautionary measures to keep your passport while traveling

Weather of Arabia - As long as preserving the passport from loss or damage is a major concern for the traveler, because the loss of the passport turns the traveler's journey into a distasteful nightmare during which he spends difficult times searching for it or issuing a new copy of it.

In order for the traveler to avoid losing his passport while traveling, he must take a number of precautionary measures that will preserve this important document. Here are 5 preventive measures to protect your passport from loss or damage, according to the CN Traveler website:

1- In cases where any personal proof is requested from any authority, it is necessary to verify the need to show the passport, and in most cases a photocopy of the passport or international driving license is sufficient. This would protect the passport from loss or theft.

2- The traveler must keep several photocopies of his travel document, especially the first page of it, and it is preferable to keep these copies in separate places, in the hand luggage, among the luggage, and in the pockets of the clothes.

3- It is necessary for the traveler to put his passport in a safe that can be locked inside the hotel, and if the safe is not available, the passport can be placed inside the travel bag and locked tightly.

4- The traveler must keep his passport in a place away from weather factors such as rain and snow that cause damage to it, especially during roaming.

5- The passport must be hidden out of sight while on the move, as the traveler can put it in a special bag and tie it on his waist, or inside hidden pockets inside his clothes.
