Do not throw it away even though it is no longer valid.  Either totally destroy it beyond all recognition and reconstruction, or keep it in a safe deposit box where no one can get their hands on it.

if the are old and expired.. just TOSS THEM... unless you want to have them bronzed, that is... they are WORTHLESS and have been since the holes were punched in them.

Answer 5

I would keep them and save them as a Memento for your Children or Grandchildren once you Die these type of documents become very valuable as it give information about you and where you traveled.Plus overtime passports and visa stamps change and its wonderful to look back and see what they were like.I would Save them in a Safe place in a box of memories or something.

If you truly want to get rid of them you can sell them on Ebay or other on line website.Just don't throw them in the Bin

Best of luck!!
