Safety deposit boxes are small boxes kept in the vault or safe of a bank. When you sign up for one, the bank will tell you that you should keep any important documents in your box to keep them safe from thievery or a fire. While this is a great option for items like marriage or birth certificates, Rush Passport just put out an article about why you should not keep your passport in your safety deposit box.
You can only access your safety deposit box during regular bank business hours. You also need two forms of identification to open your box. For most people, their two forms of identification are a license and a passport. If your passport is in the box, well, you won't be able to get to it.
The article tells the story of a NJ man who was unable to get to his mother's funeral because he couldn?t get to his passport.
Be sure to read the article and find out where you should keep your passport!
