My bag containing a number of vital documents was collected at gun point a month ago. My international passport was inside the bag, the passport was issued in 2013 and expired in 2018. Can I apply for a fresh passport or should I apply via lost passport. I reported the incident to the police and got a police report.

Apply via a lost passport

Apply via a lost passport

Thank you

The passport was already expired, good you got a police report. Not an immigration officer though, but I think you can just apply for a passport renewal and state your reasons as "expired". Then if they request for the old passport you just show them the police report and any copy of the data page you have

Hmm, thank you

Pls does one's bio-data gets recaptured during passport renewal or one has to apply for change of details if he wants his renewed passport to have a more recent photograph? Thanks

They'll essentially recapture your photo and biodata.
