Ask the authorities about the procedure to get a passport. If you have lost your wallet along with your passport, ask someone from home to send a copy of your driver’s license or any other valid identification document via email or fax. There should be a replacement fee that you need to furnish. The new passport is valid for 90 days after which you need to get a permanent passport.
