What to do if you have lost your passport You must tell the Identity and Passport Service (IPS) as soon as possible if your passport has been lost or stolen. This will reduce the risk of anyone else using your passport or your identity and ensure a replacement is issued as quickly as possible. To report and arrange a replacement for a lost or stolen passport, please see the Gov.uk website. This will take you through a series of questions to identify the correct procedure for reporting and obtaining a replacement passport.
