Safeguarding Important Documents
It is extremely important for you to make sure that all important documents such as your passport and student visa information are kept in a safe place during your exchange. It would be a major and costly inconvenience for you to have to re-apply for an Australian passport and a student visa all over again. Ideally these documents should be locked up so that they are accessible only to yourself but if this is not an option then you should place them somewhere where limited people can access them.
Another important reason to safe guard your important documents is to prevent identity theft. The incidence of identity theft is on the rise around the world but especially in the US . Make sure that you do not ever give out your personal details or your social security number (if you get one). If you receive credit card offers in the mail make sure that you destroy them by tearing them into little pieces or by shredding them. |
