What if I loose my passport or ID while abroad?
Make a photocopy of your passport’s identification page and birth certificate and keep it separate from the original when you travel. For added security, leave a photocopy with a friend or relative at home. These simple steps may speed the replacement process if you lose your passport. It is very important that you know the number of the local Canadian consulate or if you are unable to contact a Canadian Mission or consulate, make a collect call to: DFAIT’s Consular Affairs Bureau at (613) 996-8885.
