dì qī shí èr kè qù pài chū suǒ bào shī hù zhào! 第七十二課 去派出所報失護照! Lesson 72 Report the loss of your passport to the local police station! As soon as you lose your passport in China, whether accidentally or because of theft, you must obtain a police report from a local police station before you can apply for the issuance of a new passport from your country's embassy in China. Following the issuance of a new passport, the Chinese government requires that a new visa be obtained for the new passport. Failure to obtain a new visa can result in a fine or other legal punishment when you try to leave China.
