The passport holder must report the loss or theft to the nearest embassy or consular post without delay. The honorary consulate must write a report of lost or stolen passport, immediately report the case to the consular section of the supervising post and follow its instructions. In cooperation with the supervising post, the honorary consulate will help issue a replacement travel document.

As a rule, it is up to the holder of the lost or stolen passport to report the loss or theft to the local police authorities and obtain a police report. Those who are unable to solve the problem with the police on their own may request the Czech mission’s assistance. The mission can provide advice, facilitate contact with the police or help contact friends or family.

To obtain a replacement travel document, the person concerned must fill in the application for an emergency passport and provide the necessary documents (photos, declarations, etc.). On the basis of the police report (depending on the local situation) and following the verification of the person’s identity and nationality, the honorary consulate, in cooperation with the supervising post, issues a replacement travel document.
