Family member has lost passport and is worried that they'll get into all sorts of trouble, be interviewed by police, locked up or something like that! I went down to post office to pick up a lost passport form to check the notes but they don't seem to have them and website doesn't really tell you much about what you need to get a replacement etc.
Does anyone here know from unlucky experience or otherwise???
Hiya,
Yep lost mine. A form is available, but as I recall it is one form now? You effectively have to apply for a new passport and I think there is a tick box to indicate that it is to replace a lost one. But you still need all the forms - birth certificate etc.
It really was as painless as applying for a new one - no hassle at all.
Good tip is to make a note of your passport number as this circumvents the rigmarole. Like an idiot I never made a note of my one. Needless to say I do now.
Hope that helps.
