When your passpost is lost you can have the copy scanned and send to you by mail.

Take copies with you when you're going on holiday to countries where hotels want to keep your passport.
It's not allowed to hand over your passport to others.

In fact, it's not allowed in most countries to copy your passport, so make a black and white copy if you need one, not a coloured one.
