Lost / Damaged Passport : How to apply for a duplicate?


If you lose your passport, then please inform the nearest police station or the CEID and obtain a copy of the FIR. Also inform the embassy without delay. Passport is a valuable document and in case it gets misused, you can be held responsible, if you have not informed the police and the embassy. You may apply for a duplicate passport with the documents enumerated above. If your passport gets damaged, you are entitled to get it replaced. In case of damaged / lost passports (except in case of habitual losers), provided your original passport was issued at the Indian Embassy in Doha, you should get passport in about 15 days. If you have applied for a duplicate passport in place of a passport which was originally issued at some other passport office, you should normally get your new passport after 45 days. A duplicate passport may not be issued for the second loss/damage of passport. Habitual losers of passports will be denied further passport facilities.
