Stolen passport

[Ames]

I've just realised that the bastards who burgled me last week also stole my passport. Which I need to replace at a cost of £77, because I've booked a holiday in December.

Will my contents insurance cover this cost or not, as I'll be putting in a claim for my TV and laptop.

This whole thing is really starting to pee me off now.

Ames,

Most contents policies cover Documents so I would have a look through it.

Have you reported it as stolen? if not I would ring the passport office in the morning so you are protecting your identity.

They will then at the same time sent you the lost/stolen passport forms to get it replaced.

I would have thought your insurance should cover it, but the only way to be sure, as you know, is to ask them, or put in the claim with the passport included and see what happens.

BBOO,

Would be hard to put the passport in with the claim as it was stolen.

The policy booklet will tell you if documents are covered just check that and if it is claim the cost back to replace it.

The insurers will check with passport office to see if a replacement has been issued so no problem there.

I would also notify the police too, now they will do nothing but they will give you a crime number which you can put on the insurance claim form.
