Once you receive your passport, there are a few important steps you should take:

1. Check the Details. Verify that all personal information is correct.
2. Sign Your Passport. Immediately sign the third page of your passport booklet. Minors age 12 and below shall leave it blank.
3. Make Copies. Make photocopies of your passport data page. Keep at least one copy at home and take another copy with you when you travel, stored separately from your actual passport.
4. Store It Safely. When not in use, store your passport in a secure place to prevent it from being lost or stolen.
5. Take Care of Your Passport. Do not staple anything on the passport booklet, especially the covers, as this may damage the electronic chip and render the ePassport unreadable. Any unauthorized changes will invalidate the passport and may incur legal penalties.
6. Check the Validity of Your Passport. Regularly check the validity of your passport and plan to renew it at least nine (9) months before it expires to avoid any travel disruptions.
