Help! I lost my passport here in Thailand last week and am gathering the documents required for a replacement. I see I need some photo ID evidence as I dont have my old passport. I don't have anything of this nature at all. 

Please..any ideas?

Do you have a copy of your lost passports photo page? That might be enough.

 

Thanks For the reply.

Yes I do. That is all I have. Surely it is enough..who has photo Id if no driving licence??

First step, go to police station to get a police report.

I thought the police report was if its stolen? 

If you can not provide the passport you must have a police report.  Lost could very well mean stolen even if you are not aware of it and it needs to be canceled.  

 

These days 2 forms of photo ID is becoming the normal requirement for many things so perhaps more important to have DL or alternative ID card option of some type.

 lost could also be stolen

So i go to the police station and report it. Then take the report and details page photocopy (all i have) to my appointment at trendy building. If they wont accept that then i wont bother cos i dont have photo id.

There should not be any problem as they will have copy of your old passport/photo on file.  That should be all that is required if you do not have anything else and you seem to actually have a copy of your old passport.  But admit being American can not speak for UK/systems. 

 

But you will need that police report.

Thanks for the advice. It was only a couple of years old also, I still look the same as the picture, so wait and see.

Cheers again ????
