Separate access details from sensitive documents
Create an everyday trip sheet with dates, booking references, addresses and official contact routes. Keep identity-document copies in a separately protected place if you choose to carry them. A shared itinerary does not need to contain a passport image or a full medical record.

The Department of State checklist is a U.S. government resource for international travel; requirements for passports, visas and assistance depend on nationality and destination. Use the relevant official authority for your own circumstances. This article is about organizing information, not determining entry eligibility.
