Make a copy of the first two pages of your passport before you leave for your trip.
Travel with your passport somewhere in your clothes or on your body. Stash the copied pages of your passport in your checked baggage to avoid losing both at the same time. When you arrive at your destination, keep your original passport and copies in different places.
Keep track of your passport at all times when traveling. If you're traveling in a group, don't give all of the passports to one person.
Secure your passport to your body with a specially designed passport-carrying container that has a leash to place around your neck or a belt to clip around your waist. Avoid carrying your passport in a purse or bag.
Stash your passport in a safe place when you aren't using it. Secure it in a hotel safe rather than leaving it in your suitcase. If the hotel doesn't have a safe, keep your passport with you.
