When you lodge the police report, please request for a copy of the report. In some countries where this may not be possible, you should request for an acknowledgement slip or a receipt. If either of these cannot be given to you, please ask for the report number and note down the name/location of the police station.

When you arrive at our Mission, please have with you the police report, documentary proof of your citizenship status and proof of your identity (preferably with your photograph on it, e.g. Identity Card)

Helpful Tips: When travelling, always keep your passport and your identity card separately.

For Singapore citizens who are tourists, our Mission will issue you a Document of Identity (DI) to enable you to return to Singapore after your particulars have been verified. On your return to Singapore, you would need to surrender the Document of Identity and apply for a new passport at the Singapore Immigration.

For those Singapore citizens who are working/studying in the country, our Mission will assist you in your application for a replacement passport. Please see loss of passport for Singaporeans for the relevant instructions.

Helpful Tips: When travelling, it would be useful to carry a photocopy each of your passport and your identity card.
