If the passport gets stolen or lost - first, one needs to report it to the local police and obtain a copy of the report. Secondly, one should contact the Singapore High Commission and inform of the loss to apply for a Document of Identity. The applicant should bring the police report, documentary proof of his/her identity and two passport-sized photographs to the High Commission. It is advisable for all Singapore travellers to make photocopies of their passport and NRIC when travelling overseas in the event that one loses their identification and travel documents or they are stolen.
