Passport Seva treats a lost passport as a re-issue case. Its current document guidance calls for the applicable address and identity documents, an original police report, a lost-passport affidavit (Annexure F), and copies of the old passport pages if available; other documents depend on the applicant's case. The official application instructions list lost/stolen replacement as ineligible for Tatkaal, so use the current portal's Normal application path. The Passport Seva document advisor is the controlling source for your exact circumstances. Cases involving a passport lost abroad, a minor applicant, damaged but available booklet, diplomatic/official passport, or a special legal situation need the appropriate Passport Office or consular instructions instead.","primary_intent":"Report and replace an adult ordinary Indian passport lost or stolen in India, assemble the current Passport Seva case documents, submit the correct re-issue application, and follow it through delivery.","slug":"replace-a-lost-passport","title":"Replace a lost or stolen Indian passport from within India","updated_at":"2026-10-05T12:25:10"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":24,"total_items":1,"total_pages":1}}
