Passport Covers for Wedding Gift

[Anonymous]

OP do they have a registry?

Something returnable.

You have to take them out for customs and check in and now to scan them anywhere. It’s just one more step and is a total pain. I think they were useful even 40 years ago when passport covers were basically thicker paper and you had paper boarding passes, but now they are just useless

I still travel with one. My pilot certificates are in one side, the passport (with is required ID) is in the other. Also, no one scans passports anyway - it's all facial recognition and fingerprinting.

Maybe at most ports of entry in the US, but certainly not everywhere. We had our passports reviewed and stamped 3 times on our summer trip last year- UK entry, Schengen entry, and Schengen exit.

Right. And you take the passport out...

Not everyone likes them. I would never use it and travel a lot

I wouldn’t like this. Buy something off the registry or give money.

I do use one and like it, but from feedback here perhaps that’s not super typical.

What about keeping with the travel theme and getting a set of leather monogrammed travel Dopp kits?

Do people still use those in the TSA era?

Of course. There are travel size toiletries. And with precheck you don't need to take anything out.

That said, I wouldn't want a leather bag - hard to clean and a little heavier than nylon/cloth.
