Emergency passport

If you have lost your ordinary passport you can apply for an emergency passport. The emergency passport is an A4 sheet without biometric information and is issued for a specific, imminent (within 2-3 days) journey. Validity varies depending on circumstances but maximum validity is 7 months. You must tell the Embassy how long you will be away and show a valid ticket. You must always check that the country you are visiting accepts a Swedish A4 emergency passport. The best way to do this is to contact the relevant embassy.

When you come to the appointment at the Embassy, bring the following:

  • If the passport has been lost/stolen we need a police report. The lost/stolen passport will be rendered invalid by the Embassy.
  • A valid ticket or travel reservation. The consular officer also needs information about the purpose and urgency of the travel plans.
