Have you lost your passport just before an important flight?

First, we will find out if it is possible to board a plane without an identity document - without a passport.

The legislature foresaw this situation and made it possible to fly without a passport.

To get a certificate of the loss of the document (which will be considered the basis for believing you at the airport), you need to go to the police station, not forgetting to take printed plane tickets with you.

There you will be asked to write a statement about the loss of your passport and you will be given the certificate itself, which is certified by the competent authorities.

When checking in for the flight, provide the full package of documents that the police have issued to you.

It is logical to assume that if your passport is snatched out already at the airport, you will not be able to board the plane (because you will not have time to write an application).

But if you lost your passport before traveling abroad, then you will not be able to fly away.

What if you accidentally tore off part of one of the pages of your passport?

Do not worry: if you can see all the necessary information, your passport will be accepted when you check-in for the flight.

What if the document is expired?

You will not be allowed on board, so it is worth taking care of such things in advance and, if the deadline is coming to an end, it is better to double-check and take the necessary measures in advance.
