Travel Emergency Contacts Card
A free printable travel emergency card — three to a page: who to ring at home, insurer and policy reference, assistance and embassy lines, and anything else you choose to write.
Download Free · no sign-up
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
What this sheet is for
Carry the numbers that matter in an emergency on something that does not need a battery, a signal or a passcode, and leave the same card with someone at home.
Who it is for
Anyone travelling away from home, solo travellers, families splitting up during the day, and anyone travelling with someone who could not give those numbers themselves.
How to use it
- Fill in all three cards the same, then cut them apart.
- Carry one separately from your passport and your phone.
- Leave one with whoever is at home, and keep the third in the bag.
- Write the assistance line as well as the policy number — the number alone is no use at two in the morning.
- Write only what you would be content for a stranger to read.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Three identical cards to cut out and carry: who to ring at home, the insurer and policy reference, the assistance line, and anything else you choose to write.
Write only what you choose to. Nothing on this card is compulsory and no medical guidance is offered here. Write only what you would want someone to find, carry one card separately from your passport and phone, and leave one with whoever is at home.
Card one — cut along the line and carry it separately
Write-on lines: Name · Staying at — place and phone · Contact at home — name and number · Second contact — name and number · Insurer and policy reference · Emergency assistance line · Embassy or consulate line · Anything else you choose to note
Card two — cut along the line and carry it separately
Write-on lines: Name · Staying at — place and phone · Contact at home — name and number · Second contact — name and number · Insurer and policy reference · Emergency assistance line · Embassy or consulate line · Anything else you choose to note
Card three — cut along the line and carry it separately
Write-on lines: Name · Staying at — place and phone · Contact at home — name and number · Second contact — name and number · Insurer and policy reference · Emergency assistance line · Embassy or consulate line · Anything else you choose to note
Questions
Why is there no space for medical details?
There is a blank line you can use for anything you choose to note, and no prompting for anything in particular. What is worth writing is a decision for you, not for a printed sheet, and we offer no medical guidance here.
Why three identical cards?
Because one card in one pocket fails the moment the pocket is the thing you lose. One carried, one at home and one in the bag means the numbers survive losing any single one of them.
