Lost passport in Japan
How long does it take to replace a lost passport in Japan. The consulate is closed today, I just need an idea how long it takes, so that I may tell the airline. Thank you in advance.

There should be a duty officer on call who can tell. you. Call again and ask to speak to the consular duty officer.

I called them, the operator said I have to call back tomorrow. Thanks.

US Passport? Not open until Tuesday because of Labor Day in the US.
Here is procedure for US. http://japan.usembassy.gov/e/acs/tac...orts-lost.html |
If the process is standard, we went to the US Embassy in Santiago, Chile when it opened with all,forms downloaded and completed, photos taken at a location recommended on Embassy website. We gave agent our applications and fees around 10am and had our passports around 3pm. Good luck.

This US Embassy Japan website page gives a number to call after hours in emergencies. Lost passports are listed as an emergency. http://japan.usembassy.gov/e/acs/tacs-emergency.html

Thank you everybody for all your help. I found my passport just in time for my flight. Thanks you

So glad you found it! Losing a passport is every traveler's nightmare.

Wonderful that you found it! You also saved your self around $100. f a one year emergency passport. We had just renewed the ones that were stolen so it was a pricy event.

WE need to know...Where was it hiding?

:-) Icuy,
It was in my recipe folder. I was working on some recipes a few days before and I must have grabbed it by mistake while cleaning my desk. I had it out thinking I would need my passport to fly to Tokyo for a day. I looked everywhere but my recipe folder. I didn't think about looking there until one of my chefs called to ask a question about a recipe, at this point I didn't trust myself and I was feeling stupid, so I pulled the file out of my carry on and there it was. Thank you . |
Phew. So glad you found your passport in time for your flight.
