Custom Privacy Passport Cover

In hotels abroad you are often asked for your passport, and a copy is made without a second thought. But that copy is not without risk. According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS), around 1.2 million internet users in the Netherlands fell victim to identity fraud in 2018.

That is why we developed the Spy-Fy Privacy Passport Cover. It covers your BSN and passport photos, so your passport can be copied safely wherever needed.

Protect your employees, clients and business relations against identity fraud. The Privacy Passport Cover offers:

• Safe passport copies at hotels and service desks, at home and abroad
• Covers the BSN and passport photos
• A security seal that shows whether the passport has been taken out of the cover
• RFID protection against unwanted reading of the passport chip
• A QR code to passportprivacy.org, which explains in 12 languages why the passport is covered, so there is no discussion at the hotel desk
• Made of polyurethane, a high-quality alternative to leather
• Printed in full color on both sides, in a gift box that is printable on all four sides

In identity fraud, your details are stolen (identity theft) or falsified and then misused. Handing over a copy of your passport with your photo and citizen service number (BSN) already puts you at risk. What can someone do with your data? For example:

• Apply for loans in your name
• Open bank accounts
• Make purchases in your name without paying
• Create fake social media profiles
• Rent a home or a car in your name

Once your data is in the hands of criminals, it is hard to undo. Data gets resold, and your BSN is a number you cannot change. The best protection is to never hand over a full copy of your passport. The Dutch government also advises making a safe copy of your ID, with your BSN crossed out.

The Privacy Passport Cover makes this the standard: the BSN and photos stay covered, every time the passport is copied. Read our travel tips for more ways to protect your privacy abroad.
