Lost or Stolen Passports

 If your passport has been lost or stolen you should take the following steps:

• Report the incident immediately to the Embassy
• Inform the police and obtain a police report acknowledging that you have reported the incident
• Obtain two passport photographs
• Submit an application for an Emergency Passport at the Embassy – Section 6 of the application form (Statement of Loss) should be completed

Once the necessary checks have been made, the Embassy may issue an Emergency Passport or an EU Emergency Travel Document.
