Lost Your Passport, What to Do at RPO

 

In this case, we provide information on what to do if you lose your passport in RPO. The Regional Passport Office (RPO) is a critical part of the process, but your first steps are elsewhere. Here is a clear, step-by-step guide on what to do, with a specific focus on the RPO’s role.

The Two-Stage Process at a Glance
