Question

If you reported your (UK) passport lost but found it a week later would you still need to apply for a new one?

Answer 1

I guess you would ring the Passport Agency and let them know you have it back.

Answer 2

Call the same office that you called before to report the

missing passport and tell them that you found the old one

and see what they say.

Answer 3

If you have now applied for a new passport and sent it all off etc, I would wait until you get your new passport and then send your lost but now found passport to the passport people with a letter saying you have found your passport.  Keep the new one.

If you lost your passport and havent sent off for a new one yet, just inform the passport people (if you told them you lost it) that it has now been found. You shouldn't need to apply for a new one.
