What Happens When You Email a Passport
Most professionals know email isn’t ideal. Few realise how exposed their clients’ data actually is.
Sits in inboxes forever
That passport attachment lives in your inbox, your sent folder, your client’s sent folder, and your email provider’s backup servers. Indefinitely.
Forwarded without consent
Anyone in the email chain can forward it. Once sent, you have zero control over who sees your client’s documents — and zero visibility into what happens next.
Not encrypted
Standard email travels in plain text between servers. Your client’s bank statements pass through multiple third-party systems with no encryption guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to email a passport to my solicitor?
No. Standard email is not encrypted end-to-end, meaning your passport travels in plain text across multiple servers and remains stored in email inboxes indefinitely. Read our full analysis.
Do my clients need to install anything?
No. Your clients click the secure link you share, upload their documents in their browser, and they’re done. No registration, no passwords, no software to install.
Can I still use email to send the secure link?
Yes. You send the link via email (or text, WhatsApp, etc.) — but the actual documents never travel through email. They’re encrypted and uploaded directly via the secure link.
