Really, people ask Google if they can travel without a passport? That answer from good isn’t necessary, in my opinion. Because tourists must get visas before travelling, they must have a passport. If you have plans to travel in the future, it is helpful to be aware of and possess some of these travel documents. Even if you are flying to a nation that does not require a visa, you will most likely need all of the necessary travel documents.
In this article, Mrpocu.com will list some of the top travel documents you need if you have plans traveling in the future. It is best to get them now before it’s too late someday.
What Travel Documents Do I Need When Traveling
Birth Certificate
If you’ve ever considered applying for a visa, you’ll need your birth certificate. Applicants for documents such as the Ghana Card and Passport must produce birth certificates to prove their Ghanaian nationality.
How to apply for a Birth Certificate
The Births and Deaths Registry issues birth certificates, which cost no more than GHS100. When applying for a birth certificate, the following information is required:
- Name of Child (The person who is applying for the certificate)
- Date of birth
- Place of birth (Exact place of birth; house or Hospital)
- Name of Mother (Must include maiden’s name instead of the current name, if the name has changed)
- Name of father
- Father’s occupation
- Informant (The person making the application on your behalf; one of your parents who is alive. If both are dead, then any other relative can be)
Birth certificates for people born in Accra are normally issued in about a week. The rest could take a month.
The “Red” handwritten Birth Certificate issued to the kid at birth can be used by children under the age of one. As long as the child is under the age of one year, that certificate is acceptable for all reasons, including passport applications. When applying for a computer-printed certificate, also known as a “Biometric Certificate,” parents can present it to the Birth and Death Registry.
If a mistake on a birth certificate has been issued, it can be remedied by swearing an Affidavit stating the errors. Attach the affidavit to the certificate and send it to the register for any required changes.
Birth certificates have nothing to do with name changes. The name given to a person at birth is documented on a birth certificate. A new Birth Certificate is not required if you plan to change your name. You can change your name at any time, but your birth certificate will stay valid as long as any document showing your previous name is still valid.
Passport
If you don’t have a passport, you’re not serious when you declare you’re going on a trip overseas. All overseas travel necessitates the use of a passport. There are countries that do not require a visa, but there are none that do not require a passport. Passports can be stressful to obtain, so it’s best to get one far ahead of time to avoid any last-minute regrets. Applicants are often faced with the pretext that there aren’t enough passport booklets.

Bank Statement
When Travel Consultants and Travel Agents encounter clients who have the finances to go on a trip but no bank statement, they are perplexed. They start to wonder where these clients’ money goes. If you intend to travel to a country that requires a visa, open a bank account and begin depositing your funds there. It makes no sense to have enough money to go on vacation but no bank statement on which to base your visa application. You will never be able to persuade the consular that you can afford the trip.

Payslips
Employees must submit pay stubs with their visa applications. Some employers refuse to provide pay stubs to their employees. If you want to travel or apply for a visa in the near future, start requesting payslips from your job.
Business Registration
When it comes to visa applications, this is a crucial document for self-employed people. The majority of people do not believe it is necessary to register their firms unless they require Business Registration paperwork. Make plans to register your business right away if you own a business and have travel plans, or even if you don’t.
How To Register You Business
1.Get A TIN
A business name cannot be registered without first obtaining a Tax Identification Number (TIN). Companies and corporations require a TIN number in order to pay their state-mandated taxes. A TIN number can be obtained through a bank, the Ghana Revenue Authority, or the Registrar General’s Department.
2.Register Your Business At The Registrar General’s Department
A firm can be registered as a sole proprietorship or a limited liability company depending on who owns it and how many people own it. The term “sole proprietorship” refers to a business that is owned by only one individual. To register a sole proprietorship, applicants must fill out and sign Form A, which can be obtained from the Registrar General Department. This form requires information such as the business name, general nature of the business, primary activity of the business, date of establishment, business location information, information on the sole proprietor (surname, first name, middle name, date of birth, gender, occupation, marital status), the sole proprietor’s residential addresses, and the TIN number.
Have Everything Documented
Certain assertions you make in your visa application may not be supported by words alone. All of your allegations must be backed up by relevant documentation. Make sure that all of your assets are registered in your name. If you’re married and don’t have a marriage certificate for some reason, get one.
Get a Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate before it expires in ten years. Do you have the medical records of your children under the age of six? Do you have copies of your children’s birth certificates? Do you have a Death Certificate for any deceased person(s) who will be involved in your journey? If your name has changed, be sure you have all of the necessary paperwork to prove it.
Prepare everything so you can take advantage of any opportunity or inexpensive vacation deal that arises.
What you do, your marital status, and the reason for your trip all influence the paperwork you’ll need to submit a successful visa application.
