How should wedding hosts collect travel details without keeping passport copies?
Last reviewed:
Direct answer
Collect only the itinerary and contact details needed for pickups or hosting, rather than asking relatives to circulate passport copies.
Tell guests which information will reach the driver or hotel and use a restricted channel. If a provider legitimately needs identification, let the guest supply it directly through that provider's proper process where possible. Keep travel coordination separate from visa applications. A family's wish to help does not justify retaining a full set of identity documents after the practical task is complete.
