In all the nations I have visited, it is required by law that I bear my passport on my person at all times.
AMERICAN LURKERS: If you are currently a missionary and you were required to surrender your passport to your mission office, you are in violation of the laws of your host nation. Demand the return of your passport immediately. If you are refused, contact the nearest U.S. Embassy, report it lost, and get a replacement:
