Polonia în România

If you are abroad, report a lost passport or temporary passport immediately in a Polish consular office.

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

Honorary consuls do not accept reports of lost passports.

You do not have to book an appointment. 

What documents do I need to submit?

The consul will accept your report of lost passport or temporary passport after you fill in a form available at the consulate.

On the day of the report your passport becomes invalid. After making necessary checks, the consul will enter immediately the information on invalidity of your passport or temporary passport into the central passport register.

Please note, if you find the passport you had reported lost, you cannot use it any longer nor withdraw the report. If found, the passport or temporary passport should be returned to the passport authority of local competence (province governor in Poland, consul abroad). You cannot have it back.

You must return the passport whether you have already received the replacement passport or you haven't applied for a replacement passport at all. 

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

Making the report is free.

What happens if I lose or damage my passport abroad and need to return to my place of permanent residence?

Remember that honorary consuls cannot issue a passport.
