2. If you are resident outside Spain, you must follow the following steps:
i. If your passport is lost or stolen you must immediately report this to your nearest police station (Comisaria) and file a report (denuncia).
ii. After filed a police report, you are required to personally visit the nearest VFS Centre, for obtaining replacement passport or Emergency Certificate to continue with their travel out of Spain. The procedure with regard to issue of Emergency Certificate & Duplicate Passport are as follows:
EMERGENCY CERTIFICATE:
In the event of loss of passport in the case of an Indian tourist who wishes to return directly to India, he/she may opt for getting an Emergency Certificate issued (which is a one time travel document valid for only one journey to a destination in India). The journey is possible with a connecting flight without need to leave the airport at intermediate country. To know the minimum requirements to apply for Emergency Certificate, please visit:

Please Note:
1. Issue of duplicate passport/one way travel document (Emergency Certificate) depends on the confirmation of authencity of the previous passport, nationality and clear police verification reports etc. The processing may take longer time in case we have to seek clarification/confirmation from other PIOs/Missions.
2. You may need to arrange a new flight to allow you time to obtain a travel document.
3. The police report will sometimes be accepted by some airlines to travel in Europe in lieu of a passport. However, you should always check with your airline before the travel.
