What to do
- Report it at the nearest police station or call the Tourist Police on 1571. Ask for the written police report — your embassy will need it.
- Contact your embassy or consulate (below) for an emergency travel document. Usually needed: the police report, passport photos, proof of identity and proof of onward travel.
- Found later? A found passport is normally handed to the police. Tell them and your embassy you reported it lost — a passport reported lost is usually cancelled.
Emergency travel document
| Valid for | return to North Macedonia only; 30 days or the time needed to return |
|---|---|
| Bring | handwritten request for the document; 2 photos, 3.5 x 4.5 cm; ID card or another valid photo ID; proof of citizenship; proof that the consular fee is paid |
Tips
- The fee is EUR 30 when no approval from the Ministry of Interior is needed
- Without proof of identity or citizenship, the document needs approval from the Ministry of Interior and costs more
- A parent or legal guardian applies for a minor, with both parents present
- A replacement passport needs a police report translated into Macedonian
- A photo or copy of your old passport, and any other photo ID, makes the embassy step much faster.
- Tell your airline and hotel. An emergency document is usually valid for one trip home. Check before you book extra stops.
- If your wallet went too, block your cards first, then sort out the passport.
