Residence status if the national passport is lost

  •  

Detailed description

In principle, the embassy/consulate is responsible for issuing passports. The reissue may take a few weeks.

Foreigners are obliged to report the loss / theft of their passport to the immigration authorities immediately. There you will receive a certificate of lost identity papers (with a passport photo if you wish). This is usually required by the embassy/consulate.

The theft of the passport must also be reported to the police.

After receiving the new passport, you have to go back to the Office for Foreigners' Affairs to apply for the new residence permit.

If the passport is found, the office for foreign affairs must be informed immediately.
