Scans of credit cards could be useful if you can get internet access since you can order without needing the physical card once you get to your destination.
Drivers license you can't get a copy of so what can you make notorized copies of and store elsewhere for this purpose. The Ohio BMV would not accept my notorized copy of my birth certificate and wanted an original which does no exist anymore due to a fire in the gov building where it was stored.
So what can I legally get notorized copies of and what could be used to re-establish my ID if I needed to evac?
The rules are somewhat open to interpretation and the belief in the person your working with at the time. Say you didn't have a drivers license (where do people leave it that it wouldn't be accessible should you need to leave, but thats another post) and just a copy. I opened a bank account and they photocopied my license to store in their files, so what if you explain to the person at the bank that you lost your license and all you have it this copy you left with your relative your staying with now and they believe you and photocopy the copy and put in in your file, no one would ever know but you and the banker.
