@womenover50travel: Italy has always had the law that any non-EU citizen has to have their passport on them at all times. However, it’s a law that has never been enforced until now ! It’s being reported that a lot of non-citizens are being stopped and ask for their passport. If you don’t have it on you it can be a fine up to €2000. So keep your passport on you and keep it in a safe place maybe a neck pouch or a hidden waste pouch don’t just keep it in your pocket or your purse … pick pockets are real! Comment “YouTube “ to find out where they are and how to avoid them! Italian law, specifically Article 6, paragraph 3 of DECREE LEGISLATIVO 25 luglio 1998, n. 286, requires all non-EU foreigners to carry their passport at all times as a form of national identification. Failing to present a passport when asked by authorities can lead to a fine of up to €2,000 or even a prison sentence of up to one year, though enforcement can be inconsistent. Digital copies or photocopies are not considered valid forms of ID. Let me know if you’ve been to Italy lately, and if you were stopped and asked for your passport . #womenover50travel #solofemaletravel #womentravel #solotraveltips #italytravel

Or just get a passport ID card. You can use it just like a ID card and leave your passport locked up in your hotel.

I was in Italy last year (and before) & no one requested a passport. This year, I had to show my passport for admission to the Colloseum and the Vatican.

It's been that way for years! You must present your actual passport when stopped.

If you’re a tourist, how will they make you pay? Does it have to be right away?

I was just in Italy last week for 3 weeks. No one asked for my passport. No one ever asks and we go to Italy every year for the past 8 years but I admit I always carry my passport with me just in case they do.

It as always been like that. You need a photo ID on you at all time, foreigners or citizens.

Well here in the US you’re subject to being stopped by ICE and asked to produce your ID.

I was stopped in February on a train leaving Belgium to go back to Germany. I came in on my EU passport. My sister forgot her EU passport and only had her USA one. She was scolded by the immigration officer on the train!

most of European countries require you to have a government issued identification on you all the time. if you out of eu that's mean passport, not a copy of it.

I have to wonder what’s wrong with the brains of people who in effect say, “This has never happened to me in the past, therefore this can never happen to anyone, ever”
