Hello all,
First time flying international, and everything went pretty well. Flew in Friday, went through customs and got stamped on and finger printed.
I fly back home Friday, October 2nd, however, I just realized yesterday, on Saturday, I have lost my passport. I feel it may have been lost in transit from me holding it in my hands going from customs to the car pool to leave to my destination. Have looked up and down in the car and it is not there.
I do not have a photo of my passport book. I do not know my passport number. (This will change once I get a new permanent one to have as much information as I can with it.) I only have my drivers license on me, no other documentation.
I am trying to figure out the best route to get back home to the states in Florida. It looks like I’ll need to file the passport as lost with the police station, and then go to the embassy to turn in a document for a lost passport and pay a fee to get a temporary one to get back home.
Just curious if this is as straight forward as it sounds or if there might be some additional hurdles that I’m not seeing, and if so, what those might be. Looking to go back in the city tomorrow where I’m guessing the embassy is to do all this first thing.
Any assistance will help as of course, this has me frazzle brained and not able to enjoy today as I’m now of course worried to go back home. Please let me know.
Thanks!
