失竊護照可能令人感到沮喪,但下一步的對話可以一步一步地處理。首先確保你的人身安全,然後確認護照是否真正遺失,按照要求報告,並聯繫適當的大使館或領事館。
不同國家和國籍的程序可能有所不同。請使用官方政府指南以了解確切的步驟。
說明發生了什麼事
- “I’ve lost my passport.”
- “My passport was stolen.”
- “I last saw it yesterday evening at the hotel.”
- “I noticed it was missing this morning.”
- “My bag was taken on the metro.”
- “My passport number is in this photocopy.”
當你不知道物品去哪裡時,使用 lost;當有人取走它時,使用 stolen。不要僅因為可能使索賠更容易而說被盜;官方報告必須準確。
在警察局
- “I need to report a lost passport.”
- “Could I file a police report?”
- “Is there an officer who speaks English?”
- “Could I have a copy of the report?”
- “What is the report or reference number?”
- “How can I contact the lost property office?”
警察可能會問你最後一次使用護照的時間和地點、還有什麼東西遺失、是否看到任何可疑的情況、以及你目前住在哪裡。
警察報告對話
警官: When did you last have your passport?
旅客: At about 4 p.m. yesterday, when I checked into my hotel.
警官: When did you notice it was missing?
旅客: At 8 this morning. I checked my room and asked reception, but they haven’t found it.
警官: Was anything else taken?
旅客: No. My wallet and phone are still with me.
警官: Please write your contact details here.
旅客: All right. Could I get a copy of the report for my embassy?
聯繫大使館或領事館
- “I’m a citizen of [country], and my passport has been lost.”
- “I need an emergency travel document.”
- “Do I need an appointment?”
- “Which documents should I bring?”
- “How long does the process usually take?”
- “My flight leaves on Friday. Will I need to change it?”
- “Is there an emergency number outside office hours?”
大使館可能會要求另一份照片身份證、護照照片、公民身份證明、警察報告、旅行預訂、以及費用。要求可能有所不同,因此請直接確認。
有用的旅行和酒店請求
- “Could you print these documents for me?”
- “May I use this address for the application?”
- “Could you extend my stay for two nights?”
- “I need to change my flight because my passport is missing.”
- “Could you tell me the change fee?”
- “Will this emergency document be accepted for my connection?”
如果你的替代旅程途經另一個國家,請向大使館和航空公司詢問是否允許使用你收到的文件進行轉機。
出發前保護自己
請保留一份安全的數字護照信息頁和簽證副本,與實體護照分開存放。將另一份副本留給你信任的人。儲存你的大使館的官方聯繫信息和旅行保險政策號碼。
不要將所有身份證件放在同一個袋子裡。單獨存放的備用身份證可以使替換更容易。
一句平靜的總結
當你到達新的辦公桌時,從這個模式開始:“My passport went missing yesterday in [place]. I have reported it to the police, and I need to find out how to get an emergency travel document.” 它告訴聽者事件、已採取的行動和你需要的幫助。
