Where do you carry your credentials?
 
New to the 121 world.

Just curious how/where different folks carry their license, medical, FCC cert and passport.

I will be jumpseating on a regular basis so (in theory) will need to be digging out my license and medical to have available for the captain. I will also likely be going to Mexico and/or Canada, so will need to have my passport handy as well.

I have always just kept my license and medical in my wallet, but never needed to readily access them on a continual basis and never carried my FCC license or passport. Passport isn't exactly the most convenient thing to tuck away. I would like a common place to keep everything and don't want to go off and leave something.

Thanks

I paper clipped my FCC license to my passport. Medical and license are in my wallet on my person. Passport is kept in my carry on bag that goes under the seat in front of me.

In the event someone out aviation needed our docs we now have a great place to read about where most pilots keep their document's

I use a waterproof ID holder.

Carries everything except the passport, which goes in my shirt pocket.

I use a fanny pack and wear it all the time, even when sleeping and showering (but I don't sleep and shower at the same time in case that's what you were envisioning).

Yep. They could also print fakes off of
Google and not have to try n steal it off of a pilot.

Rick Steves always says a fanny pack works best.

Um, okay, this is painful but...
Why in the hell do you think you need to carry your FCC license? (Do they still issue those?!?!)
Carry your medical in your wallet, like you always do, and your passport stays in your crew flight bag, for U.S. customs. I never ask for a passport. That's what the gate and CASS are for. I just want to see a valid company ID.
(If you're JS'ing on the bid D, all bets are off.) Offline, you should probably carry your passport, but what do I know?

Actually at my shop somebody almost got violated on a line check from a fed in canada for not having the FCC license, so yeah.
