Anyone ever lost their passport? I lost mine in transit. I am abroad and entered new country. When I got to the counter to show my passport for entry I couldn't find it anywhere. I am currently sitting and waiting as they are deliberating . Any advice would be great.

Bear in mind that you will need a replacement U.S. passport to re-enter the U.S.

Like others have already stated, call local consulate immediately. This is the address and number for Berlin:

U.S. Embassy in Berlin
Clayallee 170
14191 Berlin
Federal Republic of Germany
Tel.: +49-30-8305-0

Call the US embassy (assuming you’re American, if not, the country your passport is issued) in the country you are currently in.

Google number of your US embassy in country where you are - after hours, it should patch you to operator or marine security. Ask to speak w a Consular Officer, I think this is their thing.

Check and re-check every inch of all your bags to make sure it’s truly lost. Turn every clothes pocket inside out and shake upside down. Call the hotel, call the last Uber you were in, etc.

I had a similar experience with a torn page in a passport once. I was sent back to my country of orgin. No ifs ands or butts. Escourted by airport police and immigration and they actually walked me on the plane

My guess: call the emergency number of the nearest embassy and ask for an emergency passport
If you have a paper or electronic copy of your passport, that’d be very helpful

It's late. Its kind of scary seeing police and border control. I will ask to call the embassy then. I dont think they will let me out of the airport into the country

Correct, EY1. That’s why I asked what airline this was because they’re negligent.

Do you have a pic of your passport? If not call embassy get paper copy and make sure to always have a pic going fwd!

What time is it where you are? I’d call the consulate or embassy in the country you’re at to figure out what to do (they may honestly be open 24/7 for emergencies like this) I’ve lost mine abroad before but after I left the airport so it was easier to get an emergency passport

I’m sorry OP! This is a super frustrating situation. Hoping that the consulate is open and can provide your more info and immediate help
