How to report lost passport to police and reissue it?

I lost my passport at home in Mumbai. It had expired in April 2022. I want to reissue it and was told to inform the police. Do I need to carry an application? What should I include in it? What will the police issue, and what should I do next to get the new passport?

Go to the local police station and file a lost item report mentioning that your expired passport is lost at home. Carry an application, ID proof, and address proof. The police will give an acknowledgment or report copy, which you will need to upload when applying for a reissue on Passport Seva. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
