Lost or Stolen
If anyone wants a replacement passport as theirs has been lost or stolen, they will have to fill out a form and can not just get a replacement;
LOST OR STOLEN PASSPORT? NEW REPORTING PROCEDURES FROM DECEMBER 2003
The UK Passport Service (UKPS) implemented a new reporting procedure for lost or stolen passports. The UKPS has introduced the new LS01 form, which you will have to complete in order to get a replacement passport.
You should fill in one of the forms even if you do not wish to replace the lost/stolen document, so we can update our records.
The establishment of a formal reporting route and the sharing of data regarding lost/stolen passports with the police and immigration authorities will enable the UKPS to help with the growing problem of identity fraud and related crime. It will also bring us into line with other countries, such as the US, which already has a dedicated lost/stolen passport declaration form.
Customers used to inform the UKPS about lost or stolen passports when filling in an application form for a replacement or by writing a letter to their local Passport Office. The new reporting structure offers a fast and effective way to cancel the lost/stolen book so as to help prevent future misuse of the document and/or the customer´s identity.
Within the UK, you can obtain an LS01 form from the following places:
UKPS offices
The Passport Advice line on 0870 521 0410
The UKPS web site
Police stations
Post Offices
World choice travel agents that offer the Check & Send service
Immigration officers at ports of entry to the UK
Abroad, you should contact the nearest British Foreign and Commonwealth Office Consulate, Embassy or High Commission.
Please see the Lost & Stolen passports section of the UKPS web site for further information.
Please Note: If you are applying for a passport to replace one that has been lost, stolen or damaged, please bear in mind that, for security reasons, we will treat it as a ´first-time´ application. This means that the UKPS will carry out additional checks, requiring you to provide supporting documentation, e.g. birth certificate. As such, replacements take longer to deal with than straightforward renewals. You must allow at least one week for the replacement of a passport that has been lost, stolen or damaged. For this reason the Premium (same day) service is not available for these applications. However, if you are travelling urgently, you will be able to use our one-week Fast Track service. We recommend that you apply early, well before your holiday, and do not book a short notice holiday without first checking that you either have, or are able to obtain from us, a valid passport
