Expired And Lost Passport by Osezua(op): 7:40pm On Jul 19, 2019

Please I need a solution to a challenge. I was planning to travel sometime ago so in 2005 I applied for an international passport. The passport was sent to someone in the UK who wanted to process the Visa. The whole process did not work out. I totally forgot about the whole idea.

My question is this. Now that I want another passport.

Can I apply for a fresh passport?
If no, how do I go about applying for a reissue since I don't have the details of the old and expired passport and I have lost contact with the person who I gave my passport to for Visa processing?

The passport was issued in 2005.

Please your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Since it as expired, the only way is to file in a fresh application for a new passport. That is how it works.
You don't have to make reference to the old passport or else that will lead to a fresh queries.
Thanks

If your last passport was issued in 2005 then u have nothing to worry about and u don't need to claim a lost passport either.

Go and apply for a new passport and dont say "pim" about your last passport.

E-passport started 2007
No the same advice does not apply to you because you had an e passport your information is already on the system so you need to follow dues process for lost passport. Check immigration website for more details
