Do you carry your passport?

[Balou]

If its lost yes, but not if a political situation where to arise. Been there done that in Thailand during the protests in 2010.

Sounds like fun

Last chopper out of Hanoi situation?

More like a C-17 to the South Korea.

It's illegal for anyone to ask you for you pass port in exchange of rental or hotel asking you to leave them you're pass port for any reason... But they may tell you it's that r the highway... Take the highway out and find other ... I've been stopped by police whitout my passport lucky he was nice ...it's even written in you're passport that you don't ever leave eye view of you're passport even a tsa agent has no right taking it and leaving the room whit it!!! They ll try it up to you to say pass port stays whit me ...

When I rent a bike I gladly leave them my passport as it means it will be safer than it would have been if I'd had it.

On too many occasions have I witnessed people losing their passport in a coffeeshop. Due to its size it can easily slip out of a back pocket.

An EU driving license which is actually harder to get than a passport is considered valid ID all over Europe. Anyone who tells you different is full of it. It also has the advantage of being wallet size and a lot more durable.

Compulsory identification

Police officers and other officials such as ticket inspectors and labour inspectors may ask to see proof of identity. As may care providers and employers.

Compulsory identification on the street
On the street, only certain officials may ask to see proof of identity. Those officials are:

police officers
ticket inspectors on public transport
special enforcement officers (BOAs) like labour inspectors and forest wardens.

These officials may not ask to see proof of identity without giving a reason. Situations in which they may do so include:

traffic management (for instance, if a cyclist rides through a red light);
the maintenance of public order (when people’s safety is at stake);
the investigation of criminal offences.
If you are unable or unwilling to identify yourself in such situations, you will be liable to prosecution. You risk being taken to a police station, where your identity will be investigated. You may also have to pay a fine.

Fines for failure to show proof of identity
For persons aged 16 or over who fail to comply with the requirement to identify themselves, the fine is €60. For persons aged 14 and 15, the fine is €30.

No objection possible
If you receive a fine from the police for failing to show proof of identity, you will not be entitled to file an objection. The Central Fine Collection Agency (CJIB) will send you a giro collection slip, which you can use to pay the fine. If you fail to pay the fine, the public prosecutor will decide whether to prosecute you. You may be prosecuted within two years of the date of the offence.

Identity documents
The following are valid identity documents in the Netherlands:

a Dutch passport or a passport or identity card of a country belonging to the EU or the EEA. Passports of all other countries must contain a valid residence sticker;
a Dutch identity card (formerly known as a European identity card);
a refugee travel document issued by the Dutch authorities;
an alien’s travel document issued by the Dutch authorities
a residence permit or leave to remain card (W-document);
a driving licence (in some cases).
