Japan's free travel visa requires the original passport, a copy of the real estate license and a copy of the household registration book. Is it risky to give this to the travel agency?

If you provide the travel agency with the original passport, a copy of the real estate license and a copy of the household registration book, there may be some risks. The following are possible risks:

1. Personal information disclosure: These files contain your personally identifiable information, such as name, address, date of birth, etc. If this information is obtained by criminals, it may lead to problems such as identity theft and fraud.

2. Travel agency security: If the travel agency does not have sufficient security measures to protect your personal information, it may lead to information leakage.

3. Visa application rejected: If your visa application is rejected, you need to resubmit your application, and the travel agency may not be able to return your documents.

In order to reduce risks, the following measures can be taken:

1. Confirm the identity and reputation of the travel agency before providing the documents. Choose a regular travel agency with good reputation.

Before providing the documents, please make sure that the travel agency has enough security measures to protect your personal information.

3. If possible, you can ask the travel agency to encrypt your documents and store them safely.

4. Before providing the documents, please make sure that the travel agency explains the purpose of the documents and you understand their purpose.

It is recommended that you back up your own files before providing them to prevent them from being lost or damaged.

In short, you need to carefully consider whether to trust the travel agency and ensure that the travel agency has adequate security measures to protect your personal information.
