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.
Report the passport lost or stolen online — reporting online cancels the passport within 1 business day

Tips
- Apply in person at a US embassy or consulate
- Form DS-64 may be requested if circumstances of loss are not given on DS-11
- A police report is not mandatory but can help
- Fees may be waived for victims of serious crime or disaster who cannot pay
- 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.
