Lost your passport in Da Nang? Here is exactly what to do.
First a stamped police report, then your embassy, and do not book a flight out until Vietnam Immigration re-issues your entry stamp. I come with you for all three.
- Police report first (biên bản)
- Call your embassy next
- Do not book a flight yet
- Exit stamp: 78 Lê Lợi
- A photo of the data page helps
$30/hour, told before we start. I come to you in person, 7 days a week.
Before anything else, file a stamped police report (biên bản), no embassy will issue a replacement travel document without it.
Your way home, in order
Four gates, each one unlocks the next. Step 1 of 4.
Where did it happen?
Locked until the stamped police report is done. No embassy issues a replacement without it.
Locked until you have the travel document. The stamp goes onto the new document.
Do not book or board yet. Without the re-issued exit stamp you will be stopped at departure, even with a new passport.

Say this in Vietnamese
Do this now
- File a police report at the ward station and get the stamped record (biên bản). Your embassy will not act without it.
- Contact your embassy or consulate for an emergency travel document or a replacement passport.
- Do not book a flight yet. You also need a re-issued exit stamp from Vietnam Immigration, or you will be stopped at the airport.
- Bring photos and any ID copy. A photo of your passport data page makes every step faster.
Do not
- Do not book or board a flight before Vietnam Immigration re-issues your exit stamp, you will be stopped at departure even with a new passport.
- Do not accept an unstamped police note, your embassy and insurer only act on the stamped report (biên bản).
- Do not walk into a random police station, report at the ward station where it went missing or they send you away.
- Do not rush to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, call your embassy first, many steps start by phone and courier.
In Da Nang the exit/entry stamp is re-issued at the Immigration Office, 78 Lê Lợi, Hải Châu. Most embassies sit in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, so calling ahead and booking the right appointment saves you a wasted trip. I do that with you and, if your country has a consulate in Da Nang, I take you there.

Common questions
Can I fly out on the police report alone?
No. You also need a replacement travel document from your embassy and a re-issued exit stamp from Vietnam Immigration. Leaving without the stamp gets you stopped at departure.
How long does it take?
The police report is usually same-day. The embassy travel document depends on your country, often one to three working days. I help you run them in parallel so you lose no time.
My embassy is in Hanoi, do I have to travel there?
Often the process starts by phone and courier. I call your embassy, confirm the current steps, and only send you in person if you truly must appear.
