Hi,

I will travel to Japan with many of my family members.

In total, I would need to buy 15+ JR Passes.

Do we need to send all our passport details (scanned) to the company that sells these passes?

Thank you.

Hi there,

In most cases there is no need to send a scanned copy of your passport.

You can place an order online here and we will only ask for extra documents in case there is a concern about eligibility.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thank you.

I actually was about to try placing an order. One of the staffs from jrpass.com inform me this "Please note that above 10 passes, we require passport verification. Could you kindly also send us all the passengers passport copies?"

I feel a bit uncomfortable having to send all my family members passports.

Just to confirm. Do we need a passport to order the passes?

Cheers.

Hi Again!

Good to hear it, I am sure that you will receive a follow up quickly!

Sorry for the extra trouble, sometimes JR asks us for extra verification.

Thank you for contacting us!
