Lost Romanian passport in Greece

What to do

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Temporary travel title

Feefree
Valid forreturn to Romania only; maximum 30 days

EU citizens whose country has no embassy or consulate in a non-EU country can get an EU Emergency Travel Document from any other EU member state's embassy there, for a single journey home, valid for no more than 15 calendar days except in exceptional circumstances

Tips

  • Report to local police first; apply in person at the Romanian embassy or consulate
  • Bring Romanian photo ID or an old passport if available
  • 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.
