Travel is stressful enough as it is without worrying about where your passport, cash, and credit cards are. Your current wallet is good enough to get you through everyday life, but when it comes to your upcoming trips and vacations, it's time to upgrade to a dedicated travel wallet. Actually, some of these travel wallets are so spacious and organized, you might just end up using them as your everyday wallet when you get back from your trip. So what should you look for when buying a travel wallet? It should have enough space to keep your passport, various cards (bank cards, IDs, public transit passes, etc), cash, and ideally a pocket big enough to stash boarding passes and other travel documents. For extra peace of mind, you'll also want to look for RFID-blocking capabilities — this basically means the wallet uses conductive materials like aluminum or copper to create a protective barrier around credit cards, passports, and other RFID-enabled items, so you'll be at less risk of any unauthorized contactless skimming or information theft. All of the items featured on this list are RFID-enabled and have enough room for your passport, several cards, and cash. Scroll on to find your next new travel essential, and have fun on your trip! A super sleek passport wallet that's so impressive, more than 12,000 Amazon reviewers have left a 5-star rating. Reviewers love the slim design that will easily slide in your luggage, and the fact that it comes in bright colors that will easily stand out when you're rummaging around in your bag for it. You'll get several spacious pockets for your passport, credit cards, cash, and even tiny slots for your SIM card and the included SIM card port pin. Promising review: "Bought this to replace a passport holder that 'lost' my passport several times. This one holds it in securely and is a beautiful color, which stands out in my backpack when I need to find it. Well worth replacing an inferior one that did not do what it was designed to do." —Collie Lover Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in 17 colors). Or the Melsbrinna passport wallet if you'd prefer a design that more closely resembles a regular wallet. This one is also beloved by reviewers for its slim construction, clear middle card slot, and BONUS! — an elastic loop for keeping a pen. Promising review: "Great little case that is perfectly sized for a standard passport, with a few extra pockets, including a window pocket. Pretty pattern on the cover, which is slightly padded. A wide variety of cover designs was available at the time I purchased it. Used it for an overseas trip and could carry both my passport and my COVID / vaccine record card in it without any issue. It has a magnetic closure strap that is convenient." —Elena S. Get it from Amazon for $9.94+ (available in 43 colors). A slim wallet you can wear around your neck so you can keep a watchful eye on your valuable documents and credit cards. It features several slots and zippered compartments, and you can also wear it as a crossbody or attach it to your pants thanks to the belt loop on the back. Promising review: "This was a perfect fit for my passport, credit card holder, and small items such as lip balm. It was too small for my large phone, so you should consider this if you have a large phone and are planning on carrying it in this pouch. It was beneficial in keeping my hands free, yet my personal documents were safe and close to my body. It survived two weeks overseas without any sign of wear." —McAllister Park Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors). An extra-thin passport holder with plenty of space for extra cards and boarding passes, making it a perfect option for anyone who wants a minimalist, back-pocket-friendly option that'll basically add zero bulk to your already full luggage. Promising review: "Worked wonderfully for a recent international trip. Helpful to have a passport wallet that can also carry money, credit cards, and other relevant travel stuff." —J.S. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 26 colors). The Amazon Basics passport wallet that'll basically become your new adventure buddy for all international travel.

This is a game changer for keeping all your crucial documents secure and accessible! Made with quality, durable nylon and a sturdy zipper closure, this wallet feels like it's built to last. I'm not worried about it wearing out, even with frequent use, and the zipper ensures nothing falls out during a chaotic airport rush." —Raul T. Eagle Creek's Stash RFID Passport Wallet that manages to be space-saving and surprisingly spacious at the same time, thanks to its unique accordion fold-out design. This little pouch will keep everything safe thanks to the secure locking zipper, and there's a bonus exterior pocket where you can easily stash your phone, luggage tag, or anything else you want easily accessible. Promising review: "I got this passport case for a recent trip, and it was perfect for holding all my essentials securely." —Sylvia T. Get it from Eagle Creek for $39 (available in three colors). Calpak's Terra Zip Passport Wallet — this zippered design is made of recycled plastic bottles and features a protective laminate coating to help it hold up for years and years of travel. The dedicated passport pocket makes it a breeze to slip your passport in and out, and it's roomy enough to hold cash, too. Promising review: "I love this - it's waterproof, and my passport easily slides in, making it so helpful when being rushed in the airport, which is crucial when you dread the TSA stare-down for holding up the line." —Sara R. Get it from Calpak for $39 (available in 12 colors). The Tomtoc Passport Holder is a perfect choice for anyone who wants to keep their family's documents all in one organized spot. It features *takes a deep breath* a whopping four passport slots, four credit card slots, a ticket pocket, a cash pocket, a zippered coin pocket — PLUS a pen and AirTag holder! Oh, and a wrist strap so you can keep it safe and secure on your arm. Promising review: "I wasn’t expecting the quality to be this impressive. The material feels premium, and it’s a highly recommended passport holder. It easily fits up to four passports, making it perfect for a family of four. Definitely worth the price." —Kashan N. Get it from Amazon for $32.39 (available in two colors). Quince's Nappa Leather RFID Blocking Passport Holder proves that sometimes less is more.

Oh, and it's made of 100% premium top-grain nappa leather, which is known for being *exceptionally* soft — like, soft enough to use in designer handbags and luxury cars. Promising review: "This product is really amazing for this price. Good quality materials and well-built. I highly recommend!!" —Jason G. Get it from Quince for $29 (available in eight colors). The Polare Luxury Passport Wallet looks like a normal wallet at first glance, but it features a unique mesh pocket that's the perfect size for a passport, and a clear card slot that's perfect for your ID. And yes, there's plenty of extra room for cash, and even an AirTag if you choose one of the upgraded designs. Promising review: "The leather is of a fine, smooth quality. There are no tanning blemishes. It opens and closes without any resistance and the stitching is perfect. It's a great product. The thing I want to point out is that the AirTag compartment has its own tiny pocket — also impeccably stitched and a low-profile button holds it firmly in place. It's another winning product from the peeps at Polare." —J. Mathis Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in different colors and with or without an AirTag slot). Pacsafe's RFIDsafe V150 RFID-Blocking Compact Organizer if you want the security of a zip-up pouch without the added bulk.

The standout feature is the removable wrist and crossbody straps, both made from hard-to-cut Dyneema (which brands itself the "world's strongest fiber!") for extra protection against theft. Promising review: "Just returned from a three-week adventure in Scotland and Ireland. Carried this every day... Have had other types of organizers from other manufacturers, but this is the best. Oh, I have been traveling for over 40 years around the globe." —Brenda A zip-up wallet from trusted luggage brand Samsonite that's as sleek and durable as their popular carry-ons. Reviewers say it's the perfect size — big enough to stash away boarding passes, but not so big that it feels like carrying an extra bag aboard your flight. Promising review: "Exactly what I needed for overall use, but the quality of the wallet is top-notch. It's not overly sized but is big enough for all that I need to put in it to carry with me, and is fully functional. The zipper is of good quality and sturdy." —Don P.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this travel wallet for four months as a long-term traveler, and I love it. I was hesitant to purchase this product due to the high price, but I’m glad I finally did. I hate travel products that are big, bulky, and take up unnecessary space. But this wallet is the opposite — it’s slim, sleek, efficient, and well-made. I like that it’s just big enough to fit your passport, with space for cards, important documents, and extra cash — making it great for carry-on only travelers like me." —Carolina E. Get it from Amazon for $54 (available in three colors). The impossibly suave Bellroy Travel Wallet with a classic billfold design that doesn't scream "passport holder!" but secretly has a spacious side slot made just for that purpose.

I imagine this is what James Bond uses. Promising review: "My favorite purchase for a recent trip across three continents. Fits in pocket (I mean it’s a tight fit, but it will fit). Perfect in cargo pant pockets. Has two separate compartments for paper bills, which is nice — you can keep your home currency in one and travel currency in the other. Really sleek looking. Bought four of these, and we all loved ours. Highly recommend." —Faith K. Get it from Amazon for $145 (available in five colors). Royce's RFID-Blocking Four Zip Travel Organizer, which features a unique flat design that manages to find room for your passport, cash, cards, and any other tiny necessities you need at the ready.
