[BRPORSCHE]

Hey guys,

Have a few international trips on the calendar and have been wondering what is the normal protocol for carrying your passport.

I have found that in first world countries (Holland, Australia) that it’s not really necessary to carry it with me every day, and will just lock it up in the hotel safe for the duration of the trip. I am going to Argentina, Brazil, and China in the next few months and have started seriously considering the security of my passport and having it on my person at all times.

Am I required by law to have it on me? And if so, what is the preferred method for securing it? I have photo copies of the information page that I keep in separate spots for safe keeping in the event that the passport is lost.

Thanks!
