Considering those trouble ahead, you must create an “emergency passport kit” to take on your travels. The procedures for getting an emergency passport differ depending on which country you’re visiting, but here’s what you’ll probably need, no matter where you are:
- Three passport photos (some embassies only require two)
- A photo ID
- Proof of citizenship (such as a copy of your birth certificate, social security card or Certificate of Naturalization)
- Airline ticket, booking confirmation or itinerary
- A police report, if possible
Trust me, you’ll thank your clever self for putting this together if your passport goes missing and you have to deal with the headaches of replacing it.
