Before traveling, I always make a copy of my passport. That way, If my passport is ever stolen or lost, I have a back up I can show when I end up at the embassy.
Fortunately, this hasn’t happened to me.
But, I have lost my wallet overseas. I needed to rent a car. The rental car company wanted to see my American drivers license, which I did not have. Fortunately, I had taken pictures of both sides of my license. Showing the rental car company the picture of my drivers license was enough. They let me rent the car.
It’s a good idea to keep copies of your important documents in case you lose them.
It is probably wise to make copies of credit and debit cards as well. If those cards are ever stolen, or lost, you will have the information you need to cancel those cards.
Your local library likely has a copy machine you can use.

Christine S. adds: Health and car insurance cards are also good to have copies of. For teens that drive too. I keep photos of these on my phone also, along with my DL.

Almost every Saturday, I send out a Tip of the Week. It’s just something I have picked up along the way that may make your life a little easier. If you would like to hear from me (almost) every Saturday, just go to the home page of my site and plug in your name and email. You will also get a free copy of my book on learning Latin (and almost anything else). Just go here: https://dwanethomas.com/
If you are interested in learning Latin, you can go through the classes on my site 24/7. I recommend the book Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg. If you tackle the book and find yourself bogged down, you may find the classes on my site helpful. To join, just click here: https://dwanethomas.com/join/
If you want a more professionally filmed experience, check out the best-selling DVD series: Visual Latin.
Or, if you want to skip Latin, and just jump right into learning English words from Latin and Greek roots, you may enjoy the series Word Up! Warning. Word Up! is a bit wacky. You will learn a lot… but, you may find yourself rolling your eyes, too.
