Passport Question

[misskrystal]

My friend needs to renew his passport for the trip we're planning next September but he can't find his old one. Will he need to claim his old passport lost before he can apply for a renewal?

TIA

i think on the passport form there is a section for people who have lost their passport. as such i'm pretty sure he should be able to get a new one even if he cant find the old one

I had to get a new passport because I had mislaid my previous one. When I got to Orlando airport, I was asked to go to a second desk for further questioning.

The Homeland Security official told me that I had lost my previous passport and had recently been issued with a new one (scary) and I was asked some additional security questions (had I ever visited an Arabic speaking country).

I had visions of being put on the next plane back because a cruise we had been on had stopped in Tunis for half a day, but everything worked out fine and we had a great time.

I was kind of impressed and scared by the information that was obviously available to Uncle Sam.

Thanks for your advice guys. I'm gonna check out the passport web site and see which forms we have to fill out. All I need to do then is get him to have his picture done, which knowing my friend will mean a trip to the hairdressers and a new outfit

royal mail lost my passport so ive been thorugh this

on the passport from there is a box to tick if you have lost your old passport you tick this when you send of the form. you get as letter back thanking you for reporting it lost and told if it turns up you have to surrender it to the passport office and under no circumstances should it be used.

then the new passport is issued as normal
