Saudi Passports Directorate explains process for reporting lost passports by residents
Saudi Arabia’s Passports Directorate has detailed how residents can report a lost passport, book an appointment, and apply for a replacement online via Absher.
The Passports Directorate in Saudi Arabia has clarified the process for residents to report a lost passport and apply for a replacement. Through its official X account, the Directorate outlined the step-by-step procedure on how residents can handle lost passports.
To begin the process, residents can book an appointment and visit their local passports office. At the office, they will receive a loss report and a computer-generated slip. Once they have these documents, they should contact their country's embassy for additional help.
The Directorate emphasized that this guidance was provided in response to a follower's question about the process for reporting a lost passport as a resident. In addition to reporting a lost passport, the Passports Directorate also detailed the steps and necessary documents for obtaining a replacement passport.
Residents can apply for a replacement electronically via the Absher platform. The Directorate explained the process in detail, noting that users can file a loss report using the Tawasul service. After filing the loss report, residents can then book an appointment for the passport renewal service. Finally, they can visit the lost documents section to complete the replacement process.
