Passport Safety
If you have lost your passport, or if it has been stolen, you should immediately report the loss to the Passport Office or to your nearest Irish Embassy or Consulate. To obtain a new passport you need to complete a passport application form [APS1 if resident in the State, APS2 if resident elsewhere]. This should be witnessed by a Member of An Garda Síochána if you are resident in the State or by one of the eligible witnesses listed on the APS2 form if you live elsewhere. For further information please visit the website of the Department of Foreign Affairs.
It is advisable to have a photocopy of your passport with you when travelling. This will greatly assist in getting an emergency passport if your passport is lost or stolen.

Emergency numbers
Call 112 or 999 for all emergency services. Make sure to put these numbers into your phone. It is also important to have an emergency person contact in your phone. Put this person’s number into your phone under ICE (In Case of Emergency)
