Loss of Passport
Back to top

You should immediately report a lost passport to ICA or, if you are abroad, please see passport lost overseas.

Passports reported lost cannot be used, even if later recovered. If you do recover your passport, you must surrender it to ICA within 14 days. Failure to surrender a recovered passport is an offence. You could face a fine and/or imprisonment.

Note: Under the Passports Act (Chapter 220), you must report a lost passport within 14 days of losing it. We recommend you report it immediately.

You will need to provide original documents and official translations (for documents in languages other than English), as well as copies of the documents for ICA to retain.

ICA accepts:

  • Translations provided by the embassy of the country that issued the document

  • Privately created translations attested by the embassy of the country that issued the document, or notarised by a notary public in Singapore or the country that issued the document.

ICA does not endorse any private translation companies or entities. Insufficient documentation may result in non-acceptance of your application. You may be required to provide additional documents to support your application.

You will need to report the loss of the passport in person with:

  • Your original NRIC (for adults) or Birth Certificate (for applicants aged below 16*)
  • A police report (if you are a victim of crime, e.g. theft) or a statutory declaration at ICA building.
