What to Do if You Lose Your British Passport
If you have lost your British Passport in the UK you need to report the loss to the Police and complete an LS01 form to report your loss to both the authorities and the British Passport Office.
You should complete this form before you can secure a replacement passport and will need to complete the lost and stolen PDF form for multiple passports if more than one has been misplaced.
It’s important to state that once the passport has been reported as lost should you come across it again you will not be able to re-activate it. You will need to apply for a new passport. Therefore we suggest that you have a very good look for it before reporting it as lost.
The Standard Application Service means that you will have to wait up to 8 weeks for a replacement passport. If you need it sooner then the Fast Track Service allows you to secure a replacement passport within a 1 week.
