What should I do if the Philippine Police Department loses the certificate?

When reissuing passports and travel permits in the Philippines, one thing that must be presented is called the police station's loss certificate. Without this certificate, we cannot reissue the certificate we want. In order to save our processing time, the loss certificate must be prepared in advance. So how should this lost certificate be handled? Today EasyGo Easy Travel International will take you to know the process of handling the lost certificate.

What should I do if the Philippine Police Department loses the certificate?

First of all, our documents are lost. We must report to the local Philippine police station and set our passports as lost to prevent our documents from falling into the hands of people with ulterior motives and using our identity to do some illegal things.

When reporting to the police station, you need to inform the time, place and process of the loss of the certificate, so as to facilitate the police station to issue the loss certificate.

Do I have to show a long-term work visa to reissue my passport?

The four major materials that must be prepared to reissue a passport in the Philippines are the front and back copies of the ID card, the loss certificate of the police station, the photo on the front page of the passport, and the long-term work visa of the Philippines.

If, like some short-term tourists to the Philippines, they do not have a long-term work visa in the Philippines, they can apply for a Philippine travel permit. Although they cannot fully inherit all the functions of the passport, they are enough to allow you to purchase a ticket to return home smoothly.

Why can't the passport be used?

Because the new passport reissued at the embassy does not have the relevant Philippine visa seal, the Philippine government does not recognize this passport, so the new passport also needs to go to the Immigration Bureau to apply for an entry visa and connect your new passport. At this time, your new passport can officially take effect.
