Retirement Visa Renewal Question-Timing

Guys, when scanning your passport to post on the internet to explain a detail on a forum,

may I suggest that you crop the id number off the bottom.

Too much personal detail which could aid identity theft?

Thanks for your concern laislica, but I feel your being a bit pessimistic.

There is nothing in a passport number to reveal a name, nationality, DOB, or address, it is just one of millions of numbers contained on passports.

I'd be more concerned about the personal photocopies that we frequently have to supply to various government departments and banks, that do contain all our personal details, that are neither shredded, burnt or destroyed, but inevitably end up on a waste tip somewhere in Thailand.

Now that's a worry!

However, I get your point.

When I first joined TV, a member warned me about not giving too much away. He told me my real name and other stuff (I've forgotten what he he).

The point is that just remember the simple crop.

The scan has to be cropped anyway, so no big deal.

Just sayin LOL
