About Passport Protection

Travel safe. Travel smart.

Modern passports are more than booklets — they contain RFID chips that store your personal details. These chips make border crossings faster at SmartGates, but they also expose travellers to a growing risk: silent, wireless skimming. Criminals can use discreet scanners to copy passport data in airports, hotels, and crowded tourist areas — sometimes from a distance, without you ever knowing.

Once skimmed, your details can be sold on the black market, used for identity fraud, or exploited for travel scams. For international travellers, the consequences can be severe — from denied boarding to stolen identities.

The Risk of Passport Skimming

• Invisible theft — no alert or sign when your data is copied.
• Global black market — stolen passport data is highly valuable for fraud.
• Travel disruption — compromised identity documents can ruin trips.
• Extended exposure — passports are valid for up to 10 years, giving criminals long-term value from stolen details.

Why Passport Protection Matters More Than Ever

With international travel on the rise, identity crime is a growing risk:

• Crowded airports, hotels, and transit hubs make ideal hunting grounds for skimmers.
• More than just money, criminals want your identity, which is harder to replace than a stolen credit card.
• Protecting your passport protects your entire travel identity.
