Reporting a lost passport, temporary passport or ID cart
10.02.2023
Where can I apply?
If you lose a passport or temporary passport abroad, notify the loss immediately to a Republic of Poland consular office.
Filing a passport loss notice with the consulate means that your document loses its validity as of the date of notifying the consul about passport loss.
Do I have to submit the documents in person?
To report a problem with your passport, go to the nearest consular post or a consular post of your choice in office hours or
report it online—to do so you must have a trusted profile or an e-ID which allow you to confirm your identity online. Check how to create a trusted profile or how to use an e-ID or
make a report in writing provided that it contains your signature authenticated by a notary.
You can also report a lost or damaged passport of your child or a person over whom you have legal guardianship at the passport office.
REMEMBER! Honorary consuls do not accept reports of lost passports.
How to book an appointment?
You do not need to make an appointment.
How much does it cost?
Making the report is free.
What is the waiting time?
The consul will accept your document notice loss immediately.
What documents do I need to submit?
How to appeal?
