## Questions and Answers

 
### What should I do if my lost passport turns up?

 

If your lost or stolen passport turns up, please inform your Citizens Office immediately to avoid problems when travelling abroad. You can [do](https://service.muenchen.de/intelliform/forms/01/02/02/ausweisverlustanzeige_widerruf/index) this [online](https://service.muenchen.de/intelliform/forms/01/02/02/ausweisverlustanzeige_widerruf/index), in writing or in person. You must make an [appointment](https://stadt.muenchen.de/terminvereinbarung_/terminvereinbarung_bb.html) to visit our citizens' offices.   
 The reason: all lost or stolen identity documents are reported to the police's Inpol search programme. The Citizens Office, in co-operation with the police, must cancel the Inpol search as soon as the passport has been recovered. If this is not done, the passport can no longer be used and there will be problems at border controls.  
 It is not always possible to count on the immediate worldwide deletion of the alert in the wanted person files. It is therefore possible that a recovered identity document cannot continue to be used without restriction and may cause inconvenience when travelling internationally at a later date. It may be advisable to reissue the passport.
