First steps when passport is lost
Coming directly to the immigration office could be the first step in what to do if your passport is lost.Come with the necessary documents and follow the inspection stages that have been set.
The first step that must be taken is to make a missing report at the nearest police station.This report is the main administrative basis for the passport replacement process.
After obtaining a Loss Certificate from the police, the applicant needs to prepare supporting documents before coming to the immigration office.The following documents need to be prepared:
– Certificate of Lost Passport from the police
– valid e-KTP
– Family Card (KK)
– Supporting documents (original and copies) such as birth certificates, diplomas and marriage books
The completeness of the documents will greatly influence the smoothness of the identity verification process by immigration officers.
At the immigration office, applicants will go through several stages, including:
1. Apply for a replacement lost passport.
2. Take part in an interview to confirm the chronology of the loss.
3. Collect biometric data in the form of photos and fingerprints.
Immigration officers will carry out thorough checks to prevent identity misuse and ensure the security of travel documents.
Passport fine fees and provisions are gone
Replacing a lost passport is subject to the cost of a new passport according to the type chosen, plus a loss penalty.Based on the latest regulations, the fine for losing a passport is set at IDR 1 million.
However, the fine does not apply if the loss occurs due to an emergency, such as a natural disaster or conditions beyond the applicant’s control.In this situation, the applicant can be exempted from fines after going through official verification.
In addition, there is an expedited passport making service available for an additional fee – apart from passport fees and fines – which allows passports to be completed on the same day.
If your passport is lost abroad
If your passport is lost while abroad, the step you must take is to report it to the local police station.After that, the applicant must contact the nearest Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) or Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia (KJRI).
The Indonesian representative will help issue a Travel Letter Like a Passport (SPLP) as a temporary document for returning to Indonesia or continuing a limited trip.
Understanding what to do when a passport is lost will help people act quickly, minimize the risk of misuse, and ensure the replacement process runs according to official immigration procedures.
