Bit random but can anyone recommend a wallet to keep a passport and travel docs in?

Specifically, I'm looking for something that will accomodate A4 folded twice (i.e. DL envelope type size), my passport and maybe a couple of other randoms bits.

Whilst there are shedloads of "travel wallets" around, they're all either too small to accomodate paperwork without folding it like origami and typically have a billion slots for credit cards, windows for driving licences and so forth.
I don't need any of that crap as I have a wallet for cards and money. I just want something to keep printed paperwork, boarding pass, passport in.
 
don't forget in some countries you need to have ID on you at all times.
get some bags the right size from an office shop or a huge ziplock bag, assuming your not carrying stuff around with you all the time

I usually leave my passport in the hotel rather than carrying it everywhere and risking losing it. My photocard driving licence is in my wallet anyway and usually suffices for ID purposes, although the Pentagon was a notable exception!
 
I also have a travel wallet that is around A5 size - fits passport, currency and key paperwork e.g. Travel insurance, bookings, photocopy of id. But once I reach my destination, it stays in my room. Plenty such wallets for £10-20 online but i got mine free from a travel agent.

I used to use a quicksilver one but it was far too big, I use it at home for storing the passport and cards that are not in use now.

I was gifted this one at Christmas… it doesn’t really have a place for money

 
Can’t you have all these documents on your phone and just use a normal wallet for traveling? Or get a passport wallet if you prefer to have the passport with the cards and money.

You could get a sling and carry the passport/wallet plus the few extras like battery pack

I have this as I have two passports Jason Bourne style. It has a pen in there which is handy for landing cards in Asia. Also I buy everything with Apple pay on my phone so use it to keep cash point and credit cards as well as my two driving licences. It wont take unfolded A4 though as OP request or an airline boarding pass without folding it at the perforation.
 
When I used to travel for work, I used a zipped A5 pouch from Muji for passport, travel docs, hotel/hire car bookings etc. which lived in an inside pocket in my work backpack.

Passport went with me when travelling light outside office or hotel.

Had a concertina style A4 version with dividers for work documents which was only a few mm larger than a sheet of A4 and no thicker than a magazine.
