How to report the loss of passport?

1, you must report the loss to the local police station and make a bill. Reminder: you can usually get a police officer's card on the same day. If it is determined that your passport is lost, you should report it to the local police station or police station as soon as possible. In many tourist destination countries, this is a very important item in the daily process of the police station or immigration bureau, and usually the police station certificate can be obtained on the same day.

2. To reissue a passport or travel permit, it takes 4 working days to apply for a travel permit locally, and only 2 working days to expedite it, which is faster. Travel permits are different from passports. After losing their passports, tourists can go to the embassy or consulate of the host country to reissue their passports or travel permits before returning home.

3. Passport will be reissued locally, and the issuance time will be 15 working days from the date of accepting the application, and the waiting time will be longer. When returning to China, tourists can go back to the entry-exit permit center where their household registration is located, and provide proof at the local police station and relevant proof provided by the travel agency when their documents are lost.

Just bring a copy of your passport. You only need to use the original when staying in a hotel or flying.

If you lose your passport abroad:

1. Immediately report the loss to the local police and get a written report on the loss or theft of the passport.

Only when you get this certificate can you go to the local embassy or consulate in China for follow-up procedures. You may need to show this lost certificate when you go back to China to reissue your passport and re-apply for a visa.

2. Bring the lost passport certificate to the nearest China embassy or consulate in person.

Submit the corresponding documents and materials, apply for a temporary travel permit or official passport, and the issuance time will change according to the location of the embassy or consulate; However, not all embassies in China can reissue official passports, and the processing time is different. Visitors should call the embassy or consulate of China first. If the embassy or consulate can reissue the official passport, it usually takes 15 working days, and the travel permit can be processed urgently.

3. If the embassy or consulate can't handle the official passport, the traveler needs to bring a blank travel permit, a copy of the original passport and a certificate of passport loss issued by the local police, and issue a certificate of passport loss to the public security bureau where the household registration is located, so as to apply for visas from other countries in the future.
