Before my wife got naturalized, she had a PH passport. When we vacationed in Turkey, she neglected to check when it was supposed to expire. It expired halfway through our stay. We had to take a bus to the PH consulate in Ankara.

The clerks there made her documents that extended the expiration date of her passport. It took a few hours. Since we arrived very early, they let us in at the back and cooked us breakfast. I guess their quarters are at the consulate too.

They could have issued her a new PH passport. But, she was getting naturalized later that year.

As a general rule, I keep my passport close to me, preferably in one of my many pockets. I keep it and other ID cards (plus spare bills) separate from my wallet.

I have a similar one,- but contains only travel documents, cash, handphone... Flashlight and emergency medicines seem to be likely additions... thanks.
