There's a lot of disagreement over whether RFID-blocking technology is necessary in a wallet, but if it puts you at ease while you're traveling, there's no harm in having this feature — especially if you find it in a wallet that you love anyway. The best RFID passport wallets are large enough to hold at least one passport, made from durable materials, and have space for your additional travel essentials.
While Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) skimming — using a special card reader to scan someone's passport, credit cards, or debit cards without their knowledge — is not a common crime, some people enjoy the peace of mind that comes with an RFID-blocking wallet. When deciding which one to buy, make sure that the product specifically states that it blocks RFID readers, so you know you’re getting the protection you want.
