Two Copies of Passports

[Prawg Dawg]

The guidebook mentions having two copies of passports. I didn't think you could be issued more than one. Are you talking about a Xerox copy, and if so; what pages need to be copied?

Having lost a passport abroad I'll step in here and answer your question.

 

You are correct - Xerox (photocopy) is what is meant:

 

Keep one copy in your main suitcase, one copy in your carry on and for super safety take another copy and give it to say your roomie to carry around in their suitcase if they were to be so obliging.

 

Xerox the bit with the information : - the page with your picture and all the details such as D.O.B. -you don't need copies of visa stamps of where you have previously travelled.

 

Have fun wherever you are headed and don't lose that thing!

 

oh and as an aside:

 

a) If you have dual nationality (say your American but your parents are Italinan) you can have dual passport status, i.e. and American passport and an Italian passport-

 

b)if you do a lot of international travel involving countries that are not so friendly towards each other, you can in fact have two passports (but no more than two) to ensure that you are not collecting entry visas that would cause you being disbarred from one country simply because you have visited a.n. other.

 

I guess that means if you are dual nationality you can have 4! - I wouldn't recommend it though as keeping track of one can be complicated enough

 

I don't think you will find this an issue with TPR trips - as all destinations are TPR approved
