I WANNA LEARN MORE ABOUT IT!<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Our Introduction<\/h3>\n
Do you know what to do if you lost your passport? I know that the idea sounds terrifying, but while we travel: everything can happen! First of all: STAY CALM! No matter what! How? Knowing what to do next!<\/p>\n
1)I lost or had my passport stolen in Italy: what should I do? ATTENTION!<\/strong><\/h3>\nFirst of all it’s important to say that Italy is a really safe country! Although, the crime rate here is not zero and some criminalities can happen, so it’s always good to be attentive, avoid crowded places, dark places, take care in the crowds and around train and subway stations,<\/strong> because theft happens in a very subtle way. Also be careful when taking photos, a moment of distraction and anything can happen. If you are also in a group, be aware because they are the favorite targets of opportunists.<\/p>\nPolicing in Italy<\/strong><\/h4>\nItaly is well policed,<\/strong> <\/a>especially in large tourist centers and if something unpleasant happens, do not hesitate to talk to the police. If you have any doubts, you can also look for a tourist assistance center, they will guide you on how to get to the nearest Caserma (police station). Now, let’s get to the point: what are the most frequent doubts regarding passport loss in Italy? Let\u2019s see what to do!<\/p>\n2) I lost or had my passport stolen in Italy: what should I do? LOST OR THEFT<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhat do I do if I lose my passport or get it stolen in Italy?<\/strong> One of the reasons I wrote this post was precisely because of a consulting client<\/strong><\/a> who has been through this situation recently. The theft happened in Rome<\/strong><\/a> and the first thing she did was call me desperate: Ana Patricia, I lost my passport in Italy! What do I do?<\/strong>\u00a0 Ok: so I asked for calm and advised to make contact with the police immediately! The sooner you register the complaint, the fewer problems you will have! As safe as the new passport is (with chip and stuff), it is not fully protected against falsification, so alert the local authorities and this action will protect you and your document.<\/p>\nTips<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n- It’s no use calling the police<\/strong> (carabinieri<\/em>), they won’t be able to help you over the phone, go to the police station in person. I suggest you to always have with you the address of the Caserma<\/em><\/strong> (police stations) of the city you\u2019re visiting! To find the addresses, you can access the Carabinieri website, CLICKING HERE!<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
- If you are in<\/strong> Rome<\/a><\/strong> or <\/strong>Milan<\/a><\/strong>,<\/strong> after you have made your police report, go to your country Consulate or Embassy<\/strong> (check the address of both before<\/em> traveling and, once again, keep it always with you!<\/strong>). For more information, such as address and hours, access the official website of your country Consulate and\/or Embassy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
GOOD TO KNOW\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n- Usually it is necessary to make an appointment, but you can call them<\/strong>\u00a0explaining the situation and try an emergency appointment,<\/strong> in case you can’t get in touch by phone I suggest going directly there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
3) I lost or had my passport stolen in Italy: what should I do? NEW PASSPORT ISSUE<\/strong><\/h3>\nHow much does a new passport cost and in how long will it be ready?<\/strong> A passport issued in Rome or Milan costs about 120 Euros<\/strong> (depending on the case that will be analyzed there) and can be ready on the same day, but it can also take weeks to get ready! \u2013 It actually depends on the emergency. REMEMBER THAT THEY DO NOT WORK ON WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS!<\/strong><\/p>\nImportant to know<\/strong><\/h4>\nAfter the issuance of the new passport, if you are traveling through Europe, see below how to proceed:<\/p>\n
\n- If you are traveling through Europe and, from Italy, go to another country that needs a visa<\/strong>, after withdrawing the new passport it will be necessary to renew the visa at the Consulate of the destination country before leaving Italy, otherwise you won\u2019t have authorization to enter the \u2018next country\u2019.<\/li>\n
- \u00a0If you are in a city where there is NO Consulate<\/strong>, contact by phone or e-mail and ask for orientation. Usually the service is very efficient and you won’t have any major problems!<\/li>\n
- Which Consulate to call?<\/strong> If you are in the north of Italy, the jurisdiction is the Milan Consulate, from the center to the south: contact the Rome Consulate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
