Emergency Travel Documents (ETD)

If you are in South Australia in an emergency situation (for example, as a tourist in transit you have to depart and you have lost or your passport has been stolen) and you have no way or time to request a new passport to be issued, the Consulate may issue you with a temporary travel document (also called ETD – Emergency travel document). It’s a document valid only for your return trip to Italy (or in the country where you reside permanently). This type of document does not allow to enter or transit to the United States.

What to do:

  • Fill in a missing passport report at the local Police station
  • Come to the Consulate (please call ahead first, by phone or email. Contact details available in the CONTACT section)

To lodge at the Consulate:

  • Police report of theft / loss
  • A current valid identity document
  • Photocopy of identity document.
  • If available, a copy of the stolen / lost passport
  • 2 photos (identical, front view and in colour, format 35 x 40 mm)
  • Travel document and copies
  • The ETD has a cost of € 1.34 (to be paid in cash or debit card at the Consulate in local currency)
