Passport while travelling?

i deposit it in my safe locker in the bank - back home !

but when i travel in some other countries, most of the hotels have a safe deposit locker in rooms - so i keep it there.

Back home, just in our personal safety box.
While travelling, hotels' safety deposit sections. Though there's one time that I have them all in my bag all together.

Losing one's passport is a hell of inconvenience!

I remember a time when we don't have a safety box yet back home, I forgot where I put the passports and it was the day before our flight back to Doha, I was so worried and dead sweating when suddenly my baby opened his school bag and took our passports out (my baby took it from the cabinet and put in his bag). Whew! What a relief!

its best to carry with yrself rather than to keep it in hotel room or locker

Wife purse is the safest place, as the makeup in purse will be more valuable than the passport she will never let it go !

Not all wives i think. As I personally do not carry one and neither loves putting on make up. :P

But yes, maybe to some. :)

If i have our passports in my purse, i usually put it in the middle zipped portion.

I keep it in the room locker or locked up in my suitcase. But when I go to some countries, I keep a scanned copy of my passport with me at all times :-)

I keep it in the hotel room or just keep it in my pocket while going outside.. Never really thought too much about it.

Get a pp copy and visa copy, and keep the orgnal pp at the hotel,

Put it in my purse wherever i go...

Thank you all...:)
I will deposit it in the reception or inside my suitcase in the room.. don’t want to carrying it with me....:) I been doing that before and nothing happened...but don’t want to take a chance..:)

Its always the best practice to hand it over at the Hotel Reception while you check-in & get it back on Check-out ! Carrying passport along is even more risky that leaving it in a safe locker in your room!

I got my Laptop bag stolen in Barcelona this time & had much of my important docs in it, luckily my passports were in the Hotel Reception.. !

Ofcourse, once you loose passport, its a nightmare!

do not carry it around with you and do not leave it in a suitcase in your room.
Put it in the hotel room safe . If there is none, put in a safety deposit box that the hotel provides. Make sure YOU put it inside, and you get a form from the hotel that indicates that it is their locker and that your passport is in there. With that, THEY have to take responsibility if something untoward happens and can't blame you.

its better to make a copy of it&keep it with u,original shud be in the safe deposit locker of the place u checked in.this is what i was doing since 1999.never had a problem until 2011.i carried my passport in backpack&it was stolen by an a---le in china&had to see hell.
its better to follow what i said

I always prefer and do carry the PP copies along with me, while keeping the original PP at Hotel reception.

Also, it is best practice to store the full documents online, so that it can be retrieved anywhere, at any point of time.

I have traveled to 18 countries across Asia, Middle East and Europe for the past three years and all those times, I just kept my passport with me. I put it in my handbag always and I have never experienced losing it.

I know of some of my colleagues who lost their passport when they have it placed in their handbags. What they did when they lost their passport was report to the police for record of the lost passport, report to their embassy and sought help.

Basically, it depends on the person. If you are the type who always lose anything when traveling, better keep it in the safety deposit box in your hotel but if you know you can take care of it even when you move from one place to another, then, keep it with you.
