    Some of the best tips that I have used on how to handle passports while travelling abroad are: 

    1. Never give your passport to someone else. Your passport holds essential information, and you should keep your passport safe and secure and avoid giving it to anyone other than government officials. 
    2. While travelling abroad, you should always take your passport with you because it is a valid document for you. 
    3. Avoid keeping your passport in the back of your bag because it has a higher chance of getting stolen or lost. Keep your passports along with you all the time in your wallets or money belts. 
    4. You should always have a copy of your passport bio page or a digital copy of your passport in a cloud service on your smartphone. 
    5. Always use a passport cover to protect your passport from any scratches or physical damage. Use a waterproof cover to add a protective layer. 
    6. Check your passport regularly to make sure you have your passport with you. 
    7. You should know what to do if your passport gets lost of damaged/theft while you are enjoying in abroad.
