It is a good idea to make a photocopy of the first page of your passport. You can leave one copy at home and take one with you when you travel, being sure to keep it separate from your passport.
Also, be sure to keep a record of all travelers’ checks and credit card numbers separate from the actual checks and credit cards. If these items are lost or stolen, you will have a much easier time contacting the appropriate companies or offices to take action immediately.
