Lost or Stolen Passports

Learn more about what you should do if your passport is lost or stolen in Luxembourg, whether you live here or are on holiday.

1. If your passport is lost or stolen you must immediately report this to your nearest police station and make a report.

2. You should then contact the Embassy to apply for

  • a full new passport (please see our step-by-step guide on how to apply for a passport)
  • or
  • an Emergency Travel Document in case you are on holidays in Luxembourg and need to return to your residence abroad

Minimum requirements to apply for an Emergency Travel Document:

  • Your original police report.
  • Two passport photographs.
  • Proof of your flight home.
  • Evidence of your identity/citizenship. If you do not have alternative photo ID with you in Luxembourg, you will need to ask somebody to bring your original long form birth certificate (and civil marriage certificate in the case of a married woman whose passport name is in her married surname), or an old cancelled passport, to a Garda Station in Ireland and fax a copy to the Embassy.
  • The relevant fee.
  • Depending on your situation, we may require additional evidence in support of your application, including a fully witnessed application form, and additional proof of name and address. 

Please bear in mind, this service is not available outside of office hours except in case of emergency. You may need to arrange a new flight to allow you time to obtain a travel document.

If you are in an emergency situation requiring urgent travel (such as the death or serious illness of a family member)

Contact the Embassy, by phoning +352.450610-1 (outside normal working hours). You will be asked to leave a message on the answering machine. The answering machine is monitored regularly and the Duty Officer at the Embassy will contact you as soon as possible. When you leave a message, remember to state your name, telephone number, the nature of the emergency, and where you are now.
