The police will then cancel the passport, and it can no longer be used as a travel document. A passport that has been cancelled can no longer become valid, even if it were found at a later stage. A stolen passport may also be reported on-line. When a passport goes missing abroad, it must be reported to the nearest police station. For more information, contact the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
