Lost and Stolen Passports

If your passport is lost or stolen, you are advised to report the loss or theft to the Algerian police in the area in which the loss or theft occurred. In order to replace the passport, it will be necessary for you to appear personally at the Embassy. You should submit your application for a replacement passport as soon as possible after the loss or theft is discovered.
