When making a claim for your lost or stolen passport, you must provide the written police report and receipts for all costs incurred to support your claim.

Also be aware that any claim submitted related to the theft, loss or damage to your passport will have a €70EURO/$100USD policy excess deducted per person, per claimable event.
