3. Photocopy of lost Philippine passport, if available;
4. 15-day waiting period to allow issuance verification from Manila or the appropriate place of issuance if not issued by PCG Jeddah;
5. Police Report on the loss of the passport and its translation into English;

This procedure shall be effective immediately.
