While this article encompasses both passport holders and travel wallets, they are slightly different and serve certain specific purposes. A passport holder (sometimes also called a passport slip or sleeve) does exactly what it says on the tin and usually doesn't have space for anything other than your passport.
In contrast, a travel wallet should have room for not only your passport but your boarding pass, tickets, credit or debit cards and money too. Due to their multiple compartments, travel wallets are bigger than passport holders and are ideal for those who like to keep everything in one place.

The vast majority of affordably priced passport holders and travel wallets are made from polyurethane (also known as PU) or faux leather. PU is a synthetic material that's totally vegan — which is great news for plant-based shoppers!
Sometimes PU is combined with another material such as canvas or polyester if the passport holder or travel wallet is covered in fabric, which can create a softer and more durable finish.
Premium passport holders or travel wallets, on the other hand, are usually made from leather and may have a suede interior. This creates a luxurious product that will last you many years, but it won't be suitable for vegans.

When it comes to passport holders, the best ones have two slip pockets that you can also fit ticket stubs or cards in, whereas others have multiple compartments such as a pouch for coins or even a section for your phone. This will come in handy especially when you're travelling, when you need to keep everything readily accessible in one place and your hands somewhat free to carry any luggage or bags.
You also won't have to faff around with multiple items such as a passport holder, wallet, and phone when you need to find something. If you find that you need extra compartments, check the item's specs before buying as they don't always come as standard. Typically, you'll get more variety with travel wallets, although some passport covers will have pockets too.

RFID technology is used in credit cards and passports to enable devices to scan them from a short distance. Contactless payment is enabled by this system, and there is growing concern that this leaves individuals vulnerable to fraudulent manipulation.
These days, many passport holders and travel wallets are designed to effectively block the illegal scanning of RFID chips that are embedded in our passports and cards, helping to protect you from identity theft and digital crime so that you can carry them around with a peace of mind.
Travel wallets often have useful features such as multiple compartments. These may even be labelled, to show you where to securely store your passport, cards, money and more. There are also customisable travel wallets available that will make a lovely gift for the globetrotter in your life, or even for yourself!
Not only does this make it more personal and unique, it can help you identify who it belongs to from afar or at first glance. Plus, it can also be easily identifiable should it ever get lost or stolen.
