If you lose your passport while in Azerbaijan, you must report it to the local police to obtain a case number. You can then take this letter to the British Embassy to apply for a temporary or new passport while in the country. The temporary passport will enable you to leave the country, while a new passport can be obtained if you reside in Azerbaijan. In such a case, your old Azerbaijan visa will need to be transferred to the new passport. A police report is also required if you apply for a new passport online. Once you have your passport, you can track it online using the tracking number. See how to track passport application
