Lost Report and Re-application Procedures for Exit and Entry Certificates

In case of a lost passport, foreigners shall promptly report to the local exit-and-entry department of the public security bureau. After verification, the exit-and-entry department of the public security bureau will issue a lost passport certificate. The foreigners then can apply for a new passport at their own embassies or consulates in China with the lost passport certificate before they go through exit procedures at the exit and entry department of the public security bureau.
