The 16 Best Passport Wallets for Easy Access at Security Checkpoints and Beyond (2023)

Bellroy's sleek passport wallet hits all the right marks when it comes to quality, stylish design, and functionality. Its best feature is its versatility, though. Designed as a "wallet that also fits a passport," you can easily use it as your everyday wallet. And that makes the investment even more worth it.

The classic foldable design unveils four credit card slots on the inside, which are also perfect for metro tickets, a driver's license, and other small travel documents. On the opposite side, there is a slot for a passport. The slanted opening makes it easy to take it out and put it back in, while keeping it securely in place. There is another section for bills and boarding passes.

But what we really love about this wallet are all the hidden features, such as a second compartment for currency (so you keep your foreign currency and dollar bills separate). The wallet has a mini pen, so you never have to ask your seatmate again for their pen. Lastly, a special slot for a SIM card is also smartly integrated into the design.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What else can I put in my passport wallet?

  Your passport wallet can be a multitasking powerhouse that keeps you organized. While you can certainly keep your passport, cash, and credit cards in it, certain styles also have room for a smartphone, charging cables, earphones, and a pen. However, be mindful that the more slots and compartments a travel wallet has, the bulkier it will be.

• Where should I keep my passport wallet?

  Place your passport wallet where you can easily access it at the airport or train/bus station, but also don't forego security. If you travel with a backpack, place it in an inner compartment and avoid carrying it in any open-top mesh pockets. Some people go the extra mile and purchase a separate pouch with a waist belt or around-the-neck strap so it stays close to your body.

  And if you prefer to travel ultra-light, you can always place your travel wallet in a zippered pocket of a jacket (with zippered being the keyword).

• Should I put my passport in an RFID-blocking wallet?

  RFID-blocking technology uses carbon fiber or aluminum to contain the electromagnetic signals produced by your card, so your personal data can't be read by card skimmers. Since your passport is likely the most important document you will be traveling with, an RFID-blocking passport wallet can't hurt as an additional security measure.
