This Consulate will issue an ETD (Emergency Travel Document) to Italian citizens in case of emergency (i.e. a tourist scheduled for imminent departure who loses or has his/her passport stolen).
An ETD is valid only for the return trip to Italy or other country of residency (as indicated in A.I.R.E., the registry of Italians living abroad). Only in exceptional cases it may be used to travel to a different country other than the aforementioned.
To obtain an ETD, the applicant must attend in person with the following documentation:
- Application form (applicants above 18, minors)
- A self-declaration of theft or loss to the Consular Authorities, pursuant to articles 46 and 47 and with the
- Local police report of the loss or theft of the passport;
- Two front-facing identical colored photos (35X45mm) on a white background (the head should take up 70% of the entire photo)
- A valid piece of photo ID i.e. identity card, driver’s license, etc. or/and photocopy of the lost/stolen passport. Should none of these be available, it will be necessary for this Consulate to verify the applicant’s identity before issuing the ETD.
The issuance of an ETD is subject to a consular fee that can be verified at the following link.
Given the exceptional nature of the situation, the appointment should be booked by sending an email to montreal.passaporti@esteri.it or by calling the Consulate General’s phone number.
