Every day, something is lost all over Russia. Among the finds are frequent and documents, namely a passport. The importance of this document is difficult to underestimate, and therefore it needs to be returned, but how to do it?
Very often people have other documents or money in the cover of their passports. Such a loss is always unpleasant and creates a lot of recovery problems, not to mention wasted time.
Standard ways to return a passport
The most reliable way to return a lost passport to the owner is to look at the registration address and try to bring a document on it. Of course, it happens that a person is registered in the wrong place where he lives, but this is not so common. In the end, you will most likely be able to tell you where to find the right person.
If such a search did not return any results, you can try to go to television. On special occasions, you can still hear the announcement of important finds on the news broadcasts. By law, you should take your passport to the nearest police station, where you will have to write a statement about the find and describe all the circumstances. Law enforcement officers themselves will take up the search.
How else to find the owner of a lost passport
Social media has long been used as a media. Each person can post an ad with the desired content on their page. By describing the history of the find and the importance of finding the owner of the document in a vivid way, you can ask people to distribute the record. Very often, not only documents are found in this way, but even people.
For the person's full name, you can try to search the Internet. Surely there are people with such names on social networks. Having narrowed the search circle to your city, region or city of residence, you have every chance of finding a person.
If the passport of another region is registered, you can ask to advertise any socially active resident of another city. If the city is not very big, there will surely be friends among those who have read the entry.
If you find a passport in a crowded place, for example, a subway or a railway station, you can try to take it to your boss, who will decide for himself what to do with the document.
It is important to carry out all kinds of actions to return a passport because a person may find himself in a difficult situation without a document confirming the rights of a citizen.
Of course, the first thing he should do is to go to the passport office to write a statement about the loss, pay a fine and a fee for the production of a new document. But it often happens that the loss is not even immediately noticed, for some time a person tries to find it at home, etc.
