3. Emergency Travel Document
Emergency Travel Document (ETD) is issued according to the EU Decision 96/409/CSFP to European Union (EU) citizens for a single journey back to the country of which they are nationals, their country of permanent residence or, in exceptional cases, to another destination (inside or outside the Union).
Embassies and Consulates of EU countries issue emergency travel documents in the following circumstances:
- the applicant must be an EU national whose passport or travel document has been lost, stolen or destroyed or is temporarily unavailable;
- the applicant must be in a country in which the EU country of which he/she is a national has no accessible diplomatic or consular representation able to issue a travel document or in which the EU country in question is not otherwise represented;
- Authorisation from the Republic of Cyprus Authorities (i.e. Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Diplomatic Missions of the Republic of Cyprus) has been obtained.
- The applicant for an ETD must submit an application form together with certified photocopies of any available proof of identity and nationality to the Authority designated by his/her country of origin.
The EU country issuing the ETD collects from the applicant charges and fees equivalent to those it normally levies for issuing an emergency passport. An applicant who is unable to cover other local related expenditure will receive, where appropriate, the necessary funds as instructed by his/her country of origin, pursuant to the relevant provisions of Decision 95/553/EC.
To ensure that citizens are able to return to a certain place, the validity period of an ETD should be slightly longer than the minimum time needed to complete the journey for which it is issued. In calculating this period, the need for overnight stops and for making travel connections should be taken into consideration.
Applicants are kindly informed that by reporting the loss of a passport to the competent Authorities of the Republic of Cyprus, the passport is immediately declared null and void, reducing significantly the chances of its misuse.
Cypriot citizens who have lost or had their passport or identity card stolen while abroad, should immediately contact the closest police station in order to submit a complaint/ make a statement. Once a copy of the official report or registered complaint is obtained, they should inform the closest Cypriot Mission to issue a temporary travel document (laissez- passer). This document certifies the identity of the person residing permanently in Cyprus or in another country and it is valid for a single return trip to the country of permanent residence, including any intermediate stops.
To be issued a temporary travel document (laissez-passer) the applicant must:
- Submit the official police report (if applicable) to the Diplomatic Mission and sign the relevant Sworn Statement in front of a Consular Officer,
- Complete the relevant application form (M9 G form),
- Submit two recent photos (3×4 cm),
- Pay the relevant consular fees (€20,00) in GBP (Fees for these services are payable in £/UKP. Our price list is updated monthly on our main web-page.),
- Present a proof of identity (copy of the lost ID/passport OR a Birth Certificate / Certificate of Nationality OR their Personal Identification Number, i.e. their ID Number).
Upon return to Cyprus or their country of permanent residence, Cypriot citizens hand over the lassez-passer at the Immigration Authorities. It is noted that all reported as lost or stolen passports, are cancelled and reported as invalid.
In third countries where the Republic of Cyprus does not maintain diplomatic mission or Consulate, Cypriot citizens can apply at the Embassy or Consulate of another EU Member State (not at Honorary Consulates), which, after conducting the appropriate checks and informing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, may issue the ETD.
Fee is the equivalent of €20.00 in £/GBP. Fees for these services are payable in £/UKP.
4. Issue of Emergency Travel Document to newborns / minors
The same applies as above, with the added requirement that:
- Both parents must accompany any underage children (under 18 years old).
- If the parents are divorced the consent of both parents is required or a Family Court Decision for guardianship / parental care if available.
Applicants are obliged to submit any further documentation as may be requested by the Consular Officers.
Fee is the equivalent of €20.00 in £/GBP. Fees for these services are payable in £/UKP.
