She'll probably need your Driver's License number, Social Security Number, and bank account numbers in addition to the Passport number in order to book the hotel. It's normal. Don't worry about it.:Q😕

obviously he's suspicious of whoever is asking her... not her ya dorks...

just call the hotel yourself and make sure you're speaking to them directly... I think it's perfectly normal to need that info.

Yep, I needed a Passport# to book a hotle in Eartern Europe...but I didn't need to give it to then until I arrived...
 
NExt she will tell you that you wont eh Korean national lottery. But you will have to pay $2500 in fees to collect your 10 million.
 
I don't think it is unthinkable that you may need a passport number but if you are so suspicious, just call the hotel yourself.
 
If its any help, when we stayed abroad in some hotels in London, Paris, and Barcelona, they needed our passport number as well.
 
I was in South Korea back in October, and only had to whip out the passport at customs and when I went on base(s). To be honest though, just someone having the number isn't that big of a deal, it's the passport ITSELF which you have to be salty about.
 
It's an International Travel Virgin.....
<poiunts and snickers.....
It's ok to give the number. Do not let it out of your possesion except for them to affix a copy to your hotel record.
In some countries, you must show proof your hotel bills are free and clear in order to leave the country.
PLUS, if a dead foriegner shows up on the streets, they can match your pictures.
Relax, just a bit.
 
When I went to europe, I had to GIVE them my passport atthe hotel and they returned it when I left. Also on the trains I had to do the same thing.
