Passport
According to identity theft specialists, a passport can be a risk to your finances, just as any other identification document. In the hands of identity thieves, it could be used for traveling purposes, to obtain a new copy of your Social Security card and even open new bank accounts.
ID-theft experts recommend using your driver’s license or other personal ID when traveling in the U.S. and keep your passport book and wallet-size passport card in a protected place, like a home-safe. If you want to travel to a foreign country, it is recommended to use a photocopy of your passport and leave the original document at the hotel, in a secure place, instead of keeping it in your wallet.
Keeping this next one in your wallet is certifiably crazy…..
