Refrain from placing your passport in a back pocket, a purse hung over your shoulder or a backpack to avoid pickpocketing.
Carry your passport in an interior pocket or wearable wallet that can be hidden beneath your clothes. Other options include a small purse that can be worn around the neck or a waist pouch.
Keep your passport separate from other forms of identification. Should your passport be stolen, you may be able to prove your identity with other documents when you contact your local embassy or consulate to report your missing passport. You can keep these documents locked in your suitcase or hidden in your hotel room. Just remember to take these documents with you when you leave.
