Help! Lost passport - what can he do?
Brother in law can't find his passport - he goes on holiday Monday.
Apparantly he has phoned someone today who said because it's lost, they won't issue another one
Sounds a bit crap to me - anyone know what he can do?

You can actually legally hold two passports - might be quicker for him to apply for a second one. I *think* you might even be able to get one same day or next day.
You will need a letter from his employer though along the lines of "pursuant to our business, Mr xxxxx requires a second passport blah blah"
Might be worth a go

My m8 lost his and were going on holiday on the 7th of jan. He phoned passport place and said he would have to book an appointment and it would then take 7 days, 5 days if he went down and collected it. Was told only in extreme circamstances they could issue oe on the spot.
Luckily he found his. I do feel for your bro in law must be gutting

i had to go to the gulf(forces) and had to get the passport in a couple of days,called newport explained the situation and had to take proof of my prebooked flightdates and id,i went down the next day,wandered around newport for the day and collected it later that afternoon. cost less than a ton though(but was 3 years ago) see if you can do that? say you booked your holiday,and you have just realised your passport is missing and you need it done the same day and are willing to pay.

Fortunately I found mine in the end - my old dear had managed to put it inbetween stacks of old books in a bookcase
