What if I lose my passport?

Legal analysis: First, notify the Immigration Bureau of the loss of passport. Report the case to the lost police station and obtain the report certificate. Declare the loss in a newspaper designated by the local exit-entry administration at or above the municipal level. Bring my ID card and household registration book, and bring the above two cards to the local entry-exit administration office for passport replacement. The prescribed time limit for the formalities is 3 months. After obtaining the passport, get in touch with the Shanghai Embassy, submit a copy of the report certificate and the report of loss to the person in charge of the Embassy, and go through the visa subsidy procedures.

Legal basis: Passport Law of the People's Republic of China.
