If you are abroad in an emergency situation (i.e.: as tourist in transit, you must depart and you lost your passport or had it stolen) and there is no way/time to apply for a new passport, the Consular post may issue an Emergency Travel Document (E.T.D.). This document will allow you only to return to Italy (or to your country of residence).
In order to obtain an ETD you must;
- present yourself at the Consulate in person WITHOUT APPOINTMENT with the following;
- identity document or photocopy of the lost/stolen passport;
- the report form for theft or loss of the passport or other travel document, submitted to the Consulate in accordance with Articles 46 and 47 and with the warnings referred to in Art. 76 of the D.P.R. 445/2000;
- 2 photographs taken no more than 6 months ago (identical, frontal, in color, size 3.5 x 4.0 cm);
- Confirmed booking or ticket for the journey;
- For the application fee please refer to the Consular Fees page. Payments can be made either via eftpos (debit card only) or in cash.
Please note this document may not be issued during weekends due to office hours (being the office closed), therefore, unless it is a true emergency, the ETD will be issued on the next working day.
