Lost or stolen

To request
• Any ID's and passports you have. Even if they have expired.
• 1 passport photo. Note the requirements. We recommend that you have the photo taken by a professional photographer.

With this you can easily make a passport photo yourself.
• A debit card to pay for your passport.
