Passport; notification of loss and recovery
If your German passport cannot be found or has been lost, you must report the loss. If you find the document again later, you must also report this.
Description
If you lose your passport or temporary passport, you are obliged to inform the passport authority of your (residential) municipality immediately. An identity check is required there.
The passport authority must also be notified if your passport is found again. As a new document is usually issued, this is essential, also to prevent problems when using these identity documents.
If a criminal offense is involved, contact the local police station (see "Reporting a criminal offense to the police" under "Related topics").
