Lost / Stolen Singapore international passport

You should immediately report a lost passport either online, in person to Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) or to the High Commission in London.

To protect you from fraud and identity theft, passport(s) reported lost will not be valid for travel, even if recovered later. If you do recover your passport, you must surrender it to ICA or an Overseas Mission within 14 days. Failure to surrender a recovered passport is an offence. You could face a fine and/or imprisonment.

Online

You will need the following information to report the loss of passport online:

  • Singpass login

  • Details on how the passport was lost

  • Police report details (if available)

Lost/stolen passports can be reported online via ICA’s e-Service. You can only report the loss of passport online for yourself and your child (below 16 years old). If the circumstances of the loss of your child’s passport is different, you will be required to make a separate report for your child.

You can report the loss through the High Commission if you do not have Singpass.

Please email passport@mfa.sg and include the following details:

  • Full name

  • NRIC

  • Date of Birth

  • Details of loss

  • Contact information

The High Commission may request for a video call to establish your identity.

Application for Document of Identity (DOI) for urgent travel to Singapore only

If you need to return to Singapore urgently, you can apply for a one-time use travel document called Document of Identity (DOI) to facilitate your return. You can do so either online or through the High Commission.

Online

If you had reported the loss of your passport online, you can apply for the DOI via ICA’s e-Service, within 7 days of reporting the loss.

Through the Singapore High Commission

You can apply for a DOI through the High Commission if you do have Singpass or did not report the loss of your passport online. Please contact us by phone or email passport@mfa.sg.

Fees: GBP10 per DOI

Upon your return to Singapore, you will need to surrender the DOI and apply for a replacement passport at ICA.
