I don’t want to carry my passport around in case I loose it, I don’t drive or have any other Photo ID, but I get the impression it would be best to carry ID. Is there anything I can apply for that is accepted internationally?
Not really.
Photo drivers licence is the usual in the US, as most people don’t have or need a passport (ell, untill recently, you now need one to go to canada)
as a tourist (you’re accent kinda gives it away), it will be fine to say its back at the hotel. for entrance to clubs, then yes.. passport or drivers licence showing you are over 21.
In the past what I have done, for genearl ID, is to have a photocopy. If they want to see the original, then whoever is interested, can take me back to the hotel OR they can phone the hotel to confirm I am staying there.
Clubs… will probably want the original, but try it anyway.. or use your less improtant drivers licence (easier/cheaper to replace and you can still leave the country !)
