Passport lost or stolen? Here's what to do.

22 July 2024

You should report passport theft as soon as possible to protect your identity. Contact us on 131 232, or if you’re overseas contact your nearest Australian diplomatic or consular mission

When you tell us your passport has been lost or stolen, we cancel it immediately and we tell border authorities in Australia and overseas. This helps prevent identity criminals from misusing your passport. 

You should also report any theft to the Australian police and to the local police if you’re overseas.

Find more information about lost or stolen passports on our website.
