Guide

Document holders & wallets

The right organiser separates frequently used cards from travel documents. Check the internal format with your passport: a compact wallet will not automatically have room for it.

Key points

Compare passport size with internal measurements, rather than outer dimensions alone.
Keep everyday cards accessible and store travel documents deliberately.
Only fill a body pouch enough to sit comfortably under your clothing.
RFID protection and waterproofing need an explicit statement for the model.

Frequently asked questions

Will any passport fit any holder?

No. Document size, thickness and quantity vary. Compare internal measurements and an explicit passport statement; the name of the product alone is not enough.

Does RFID protection prevent theft?

It does not replace careful carrying. Stated shielding concerns certain wireless connections, but cannot stop someone taking the whole wallet or bag.

Is a neck pouch comfortable under clothes?

A few flat documents are easier to carry than a fully packed pouch. Try it with the clothes you plan to wear, adjust the strap and check access before travelling.

What does water repellent mean for a holder?

The fabric may initially shed moisture without the closure or seams being sealed. For vulnerable documents, choose expressly suitable moisture protection and close it correctly.
