If you are abroad, report a lost document immediately in any Polish consular office.

IMPORTANT! Honorary consuls do not accept reports of lost passports.

Go to your nearest consular office or a consular office of your choice to report a lost passport / temporary passport.

You do not need to notify passport loss personally in the consulate if you have a trusted profile, qualified certificate or e-identity card. In such cases you can notify the loss or damage of your passport either in writing, using an electronic form, or online, via the provided electronic service. 

In addition, you can also notify the loss of a passport document by means of a written letter with a signature certified as your own by a notary public.

Remember, that if you find your lost document but you have already notified its loss, you should immediately return it to the passport authority (the consul if you are abroad).

IMPORTANT! Honorary consuls do not accept reports of lost passports.

You do not need to book an appointment.

The consul will accept your report in an electronic form, during your visit in the consular office. You will need to confirm that all data is correct and sign it on a dedicated device (signature pad).

Your passport document is no longer valid as of the date of reporting yur loss.

Remember, that If you find your lost document, you cannot use it any longer or withdraw your report. If found, the passport / temporary passport should be returned to the passport authority (province governor in Poland; consul abroad). You cannot receive your passport back.

You must return your passport, regardless of whether you have already obtained the replacement passport or you have not applied to renew it at all.

An attempt to use the document while crossing the border may lead to serious consequences and difficulties.

Reporting your lost passport is free of charge.

Your report will be accepted immediately.
