AccessMyID – Peace of Mind for your Travel Documents
-
During our previous travels we have made sure that we have had all of the necessary documents photocopied in duplicate. If something gets lost or stolen we knew that we had all of our vital papers tucked away safely in another bag. However, if our documents were stolen, the thief now had access to very important and private information.
This year we have decided to add another layer of security for our documents. AccessMyID is a website that gives you a simple interface to upload and store your important documents safely and securely. Having the convenience of being able to access our important information anywhere there is an internet connection puts us at ease. If anything does get stolen or lost we will at least have copies of our passport and other vital documents to help get us back on the road. It is safer than storing your ID in your email account and they make it easy to organize all of your information.

With accessMyID all it took us was about 20 min to set everything up and we were ready to go. 
You are greeted when you sign in with an easy to navigate home page that gives you the options to Enter in Personal Information, Medical profiles, User names and passwords and even a Travel itinerary that you can print off for family and friends to let them know where you are going to be.
We found the best feature for us is the username and password storage. We have so many different usernames and passwords it is easy to forget them. All we have to do is jump on the net sign in and everything is right there.
You can use there interactive set up tool or if you have everything already recorded just upload it from the main page.
Online security is always a concern.
Is this secure? How do they keep our data safe? These were just some of the questions we were asking ourselves. Access My ID uses the highest SSL security available for the encryption of our data and it also employs other security measures such as Firewalls, Regular security audits and security questions inside the login. We were also impressed that they send you an email every time your account is accessed just to let you know. With all these lines of security our concerns are put at ease.
We are looking forward to traveling with the peace of mind that all of our important documents are safe and sound and accessible 24/7. It is an affordable way to store your passports, passwords etc. at $19.95/yr. So check them out! www.accessMyID.com We are all signed up and ready to go.

That’s really neat – I am signing up just for that username and password storage! Well, and the document storage too
Thanks for sharing this resource, I don’t know how many useless minutes I spend typing in wrong username and passwords searching for the right one!

What a great service! Like you I always have traveled with copies just in case but this is really much safer. I think I still would be hesitant to put any really important passwords in, but just because I’m paranoid and hate trusting websites with keeping my data safe, but I think I would use it and just put some hints or partial passwords with hints about the missing bits…..
I have three trips coming up so I’m definitely giving them a try!

Hi Trisha, I agree. After traveling for so many years one way, it is hard to go digital all the way. We still have hard copies of everything, but just in case we get robbed of everything during a shady taxi ride or something, at least we will have all of our important numbers and account numbers online. I agree 100% about hints. We are big at putting in partial pins and hints to our passwords. Great advice.
Genius! I remember sneaking around work a few weeks before I left on a year long backpacking trip and doin some mega photocopying. Thankfully I never had to use any of it, with this though, might be that extra piece of mind people need.

Hmm….I feel like a bit of a dinosaur in that I still have a huge folder with hard copies of just about everything official, plus photocopies, plus photo scans on my computer. It may be a bit different since we’re on the road full-time, but then again maybe that’s just an excuse.
Hi Nora, we are just like you too. we still have photocopies as well. But we just found AccessMyID and decided that it would be an added safety feature. We have been travelling for so long it is hard to break an old habit. I am sure that the younger kids that are all digital by now:)
I will check it out. That is great advice and I think its a great tool to have. Its bookmarked.

Alternatively, you can create your own free accessmyid—style ‘travel vault’ by scanning your important documents, saving each document as a .jpg or .gif file, and then emailing those files to yourself at a freely available webmail address (we recommend Google’s Gmail owing to its ease of use and storage capacity). Ensure that the documents you emailed to yourself came through properly and store them on the server (ie don’t delete them—save them into a special folder). This option may not be as secure as accessmyid; however, it is free and should suit most people!
