What should I do after the Philippine passport is lost?

I found that my passport was lost and needed to report it to the police station. After reporting the case and completing the registration, the police department needs to issue a loss certificate. This certificate of loss is very important. Without this certificate, you cannot reissue your passport. So the first step is to have the police department issue a loss certificate first. The second step is to apply for a replacement at the Chinese Embassy. The required materials are: passport home photo, entry visa, police station loss certificate, and original ID card. The replacement time is usually 7 days.

Must it be a passport that was reissued at the Chinese embassy?

No, the replacement is a Chinese travel permit, which is also a kind of passport. The reissued travel permit is blank. You need to go to the Philippine airport to transfer the entry and exit records, and then take the entry and exit records to the Immigration Bureau to cover an entry stamp before it can take effect. Otherwise, the reissued blank travel permit is useless.

Can I reissue it without a loss certificate?

There is no way to reissue the loss certificate issued by the police, because there are more people who have come to the Philippines from China to work in the past few years. Many of them are engaged in gambling or electric fraud. Their passports are detained by the company, and those people will cheat. Come to the embassy to reissue. In order to prevent this fraudulent acquisition of passports, the embassy must have a loss certificate issued by the police station before it can be reissued.

Passports lost in the Philippines can be reissued. The place where the passport is reissued is the Chinese Embassy. If you lose your passport, you will go to the police station to issue a certificate and then go to the embassy to reissue it. The process is as simple as that.
