Critical: travel today or an immediate safety risk
- If you are in an unsafe situation, move first to a staffed public area, then seek help through a verified official channel.
- If you need to travel today, contact the responsible embassy, consulate, or official authority promptly to confirm an available urgent-handling path.
Urgent: an upcoming border crossing or important trip
- Record when and where you last saw the passport, then contact your accommodation, venue, transport provider, or lost-and-found channel.
- Ask the responsible authority about loss reporting, appointments, required materials, and the scope of any replacement travel document.
Less urgent: time remains before your next trip
- Prepare a passport photo or copy, passport number, and any visa or entry record for later reporting.
- Check which upcoming flights, accommodation, or meetings require a passport and use that timing to set the handling order.
