KiasuParents - Parenting in Singapore

Star,
Stay away fr HK, it’s in total shambles. Destroyed by the young ppl who don’t valye public properties of lives of public officers. They’re venting all their heart & soul in a very unconstructive way to cry out for attention. The entire place looks like a Satanic controlled country even on university grounds.

Told my kids never to follow the blind blindly & loose themselves in the huge mindless crowd. There’re always better ways to civilly talk things out.

OT: Do you know where can i buy the plastic cover for my passport? Thank you.

If you use plastic cover for passport, do you need to remove them when scanning the passport at immigration?

Leather cover doesn’t stick as badly as plastic cover.

But even then, I stopped using my leather cover (which was used to distinguish my own passport from others in my family). Nowadays I just use label sticker to label everybody’s name big big on the outside of the passport. One glance can see whose and pass to whoever to manage themselves.

I keep a couple of cards with the passport. A plastic cover usually comes with some pockets for the cards.

If that's the main reason for having a cover, maybe get a small pouch that can hold passport plus the cards? Or just carry them separately? I usually separate out my cash/cards/valuables and carry them apart from my passport. In airports, you usually have to produce your passport many times nowadays, and when using cards, I don't want to bring my passport out every time.

Are you allowed to do this? I've always wondered if there is some rule about "defacing" the passport! How I distinguish our passports is to write an initial very small at a corner of the cover so it's not so noticeable.

None of the immigration officers have ever told me there’s a problem with it.

I use my Brother label printer. Same labels that I use to label water bottles & other belongings etc. So those sticker labels are easily peeled off if anyone ever says it’s considered defacing. It won’t damage the passport at all.

In fact, I remember you mentioned u want to distinguish your family’s laptops. I’d happily print name labels for all of you & mail to u if u want. Or if u paiseh, just ask any friend who has one to print for u. Easily peeled off & wont damage your laptop.
