🔍 Search your flightLosing your passport abroad is stressful but solvable with the right steps. This is an informational guide for Iraqi travelers on what to do if your passport is lost or stolen (check your embassy for official procedures).
If you lose your passport: (1) report to local police and get a report, (2) immediately contact the Iraqi embassy/consulate in the country, (3) request an emergency travel document (temporary passport/return permit), (4) postpone your return until the document is ready. Always keep copies of your passport.
Report to local police immediately and get an official Police Report — the embassy needs it to issue the return document, and the airline may require it.
Call the Iraqi embassy or consulate in the destination country and book an appointment. Prepare the police report, photos, and a copy of your lost passport (if you have one) and any ID.
The embassy issues an emergency travel document allowing you to return to Iraq. Then change your return booking based on when the document is ready — see the change-booking guide, and contact RideFly customer support if you booked with us.
Always keep a paper and digital copy of your passport and visa in a separate place, don't put the passport in the checked bag, and use the hotel safe. Photograph your passport before every trip.
