What usually trips people up
- Handing it over with the photo page covered — staff need the picture and number visible; open it flat to the data page first.
- Confusing 护照 with 身份证 — 身份证 is the local ID card; when a sign says one or the other, yours is always the passport.
- Leaving it as a deposit at small hotels — legit businesses register and return it; walking away without it takes a reminder, so watch the counter.
