What do I do if I lose my passport?

DileepAnswered on December 17,2017
Loss of passport should be immediately reported to the nearest Police Station and to the Passport Office or Indian Mission, if abroad. You can apply for "Re-issue" of passport at your nearest Passport Seva Kendra and submit the required documents along with your passport application form.
