Lost/Stolen passport?

If your passport is lost or stolen, you should firstly report the loss or theft to the nearest police station as soon as possible after the event. The police should then issue you with a report of loss/theft confirming that you have made the report. You will be required to present this when applying for a replacement travel document. You should then contact the Embassy.
