Managing travel documents
Abstract:
Maintaining information for a traveler includes creating a virtual travel credential containing information from a physical passport of the traveler and/or physical travel document(s) of the traveler, storing at least a portion of the virtual travel credential in a mobile device carried by the traveler, monitoring a location of the mobile device, and providing a signal in response to the mobile device transitioning from a first country/territory to a second country/territory. Monitoring the location of the mobile device may include detecting a cellular network in communication with the mobile device or using GPS functionality of the mobile device or receiving information that the traveler boarded a plane headed for the second country/territory. At least a portion of the virtual travel credential may be stored in a virtual travel credential server. The virtual travel credential server may communicate with the mobile device using a cellular network.
