Don’t Lose Your Identity

Do you worry about identity theft when traveling? Here are a few suggestions which might ease your mind.

I make two copies of everything I am taking…credit cards, passport, ID, everything. I leave one copy at home. I give the copies of my info to my husband to pack securely away and I take his copies. These do not get put in checked luggage, however.

I also travel with two credit cards or less and my husband uses two different credit cards.

I have extra passport photos along when traveling out of the US.

Typically, we do not use the hotel safe. We both have safe spots where we carry our info.

My purse and wallet are RFID protected. This radio-frequency identification protects my sensitive information from being stolen by someone using a specific device and just walking by.

My luggage tags do not have a bunch of personal info on them. I use an email and a cell phone number. No home address.

What do you do?
