Declare your passport lost, stolen, damaged, or involved in a data breach or scam

Fill out this form if:

  • your New Zealand passport is lost, stolen, damaged, or involved in a data breach or scam, and
  • you do not want to replace your passport straight away.

If you want to replace your passport straight away, apply for a new passport. Your passport will be cancelled as part of your application for a new one. You do not need to declare it lost, stolen, damaged, or involved in a data breach or scam separately.

Declaration

This section must be read and completed by the person completing the report.

Once you declare your passport lost, stolen or damaged, it cannot be used for travel. It will be cancelled immediately and INTERPOL and border authorities will be advised. Anyone attempting to travel on a passport that has been lost, stolen or damaged will be refused travel. It is an offence against the Passport Act 1992 to knowingly or recklessly make a false statement to obtain another passport. To do so may result in a fine, imprisonment, or both.
