Lost British Passport In USA Help Please.
 

Hello everyone, i am a British Citizen residing in the USA. I already have my Green Card. I am planning a visit to the UK at the end of this month ( nothing is booked yet thankfully ) However i have just now discovered i have lost my passport. I have looked everywhere for it, It has been missing 2 days, i thought i would look around to see if i can find it as i cant ever remember taking it out the house but it has gone.

I have searched around to find out what is best for me to do but as of now i have no idea where i start, I really need to get another passport, The purpose of my trip means alot as my grandfather is ill..

i will be very very greatful if someone could point me in the right direction to getting another passport while i'm here in the USA.

I know it may be costy.. But the cheapest way would be better as i have limited funds, I know there is also the option to get a Emergency Travel Document but i don't know how to obtain one of these, I am going to be in the UK for 90 days so i have plenty of time there to get a passport.

I'm currently in Toledo, Ohio and i know there are no British Embassys nearby.

I hope i can do this without travel too as i have no way to get around.

Hope all this information helps you guys help me.

Thank you.. Mike :)

If it was me, I'd wait till I got to the UK. As a UKC you don't need a UK passport to enter the country, but they will check you out at the airport.

I don't see any benefit at all to getting a replacement here in the US, apart from a slightly easier trip through UK immigration, especially if it will inconvenience you to get one here..

You are probably right, But what do i need to do to fly out of the USA to the UK? Without the passport?

Thank you for you reply

Green Card will be fine.

Take a look through Dean's posts...he mentioned emergency PPs a while back. He also posted info about entering the UK using an expired UK PP.

let me just clarify this to be sure.. I am going to book the flight to fly from Detroit to London, When i get to Detroit to check in i can use my green card? And check in without the passport?.. And then fly to England just using the green card?

Re: Lost British Passport In USA Help Please.
 

Yes. There may be different requirement for booking, depending on the carrier you use. Some ask for a country of citizenship, and a passport number. Do you have a record of that?

I think i do somewhere, I would not of worried about all of this so much if i knew i could fly with just the green card, I don't even need to get a emergency travel document to fly then?

I don't think you will be allowed to enter the UK using only a GC...a GC will mean nothing to UK Immigration Officers. You will need to produce proof of UK citizenship.

That is what i was thinking, I was thinking they would not even let me leave the USA without passport and just using the GC.. As of now i have no idea what to do.
