If you lose a passport or temporary passport abroad, notify the loss immediately to a Polish consular office.

Filing a passport loss notice with the consulate means that your document loses its validity as of the date of notification.

In order to notify the loss of a passport or temporary passport, go to the nearest or to another selected consular office.

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 document 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.

If you find the passport which you have already reported as lost at the consulate, you should immediately return the document to the passport authority (the consul if you are abroad).

If you want to notify the loss of a passport at the consulate, you do not need to make an appointment. However, we suggest that you contact the Consular Section to arrange a suitable appointment time. 

The consul will receive your passport or temporary passport loss notice in electronic form during the appointment. You will need to confirm that the data is correct by signing on a dedicated device (signature pad).

Your passport document will no longer be valid as of the date of filing the notice.

If you find your passport document whose loss you notified to the consul, you cannot use such document or withdraw the loss notice. A found passport or temporary passport should be returned to the passport authority having territorial jurisdiction (regional governor in Poland, consul abroad). You cannot receive the passport back.

You are obliged to return a passport document regardless of whether you already have another document issued to replace it or you did not apply for a new document.

Any attempts to identify yourself using such document when crossing the border may result in serious consequences and hindrances.

Filing a notice is free of charge.

The consul will accept your report of lost passport immediately.
