Most folks will give out travel tips like don't use cash or pack one bag, but if you are traveling out of the country, there is one tip that could be an absolute lifesaver if you lose this important document.

One document you will need while traveling is your passport. Renewing or applying for a new passport can take some time to arrive, but they last for ten years and help you gain access to places worldwide.

What if you lose your passport while traveling abroad? What do you do? What can you do? Are you stuck?

We might have a solution.

The Points Guy made a handy how-to guide on what to do in case you lose your passport. Here are some of the main takeaways.

1. Immediately call the closest U.S. Embassy or Consulate for help. They will be the source for you to get a new passport.
2. Have a copy of your passport or your old expired passport to prove you are a U.S. citizen and you had a passport.
3. Have plenty of identification, like a driver's license or other proof.

What will happen is you can acquire a replacement passport, or you can get a temporary one for your current trip.

The limited-use passport is only $30, but if you get an emergency replacement passport, that is $130 and replace it for a viable U.S. passport.

No one wants to lose their important documents while they are in a different country, but make sure you are prepared for anything.
