If your passport has been lost or stolen you should take the following steps:

• Report the incident immediately to the Embassy 
• Inform the police and obtain a police report acknowledging that you have reported the incident 
• Obtain two passport photographs 
• Submit an application for an Emergency Passport at the Embassy - Section 6 of the application form (Statement of Loss) should be completed 

Once the necessary checks have been made, the Embassy may issue an Emergency Passport or an EU Emergency Travel Document.

The Passport Office, in accordance with EU regulations in relation to reported lost or stolen passports, is now advising international authorities, through Interpol, of all passports reported to the Passport Office as having been lost or stolen. Any passport that is reported as lost or stolen is no longer a valid travel document.

Temporary/Emergency Passports Under exceptional circumstances, a Temporary/Emergency Passport can be issued during office hours on the same day or within 5 days after the application is submitted. An additional charge of €55 for adults and €30 for children will be added to the normal application fees indicated above for the provision of this service. The fee will be charged in CZK according to the current exchange rate.

There are two ways of paying the passport application fee:

• By credit card: Enter your credit card details on the application form, indicating the correct amount to be debited from your account.
