Passports not in the drawer I always keep them in. Turning the place upside down.

I d be cautious about cancelling them because you are sure to find them the minute you do
You ll remember tomorrow or the next day
I hid some money in a scarf a few years ago when I went on holiday when I came back I could not remember where I d hidden it I d given up ever seeing it again, when I accidentally found it

Sleep well. It’ll turn up in the morning.

If you feel it's necessary it's very simple to cancel your passports online. (Don't worry about not having the passport numbers). Just Google "lost passport". I won't put a link because l think you should sleep on it. As soon as you cancel them you'll find them 🙄
Would you have scanned them recently? The one time l "lost" mine they were in the scanner as l was applying for a visa and needed a copy.

I know that feeling of panic! A brand new pp arrived for me and immediately became lost. I later found it in between the pages of a book I’d been looking at and then put back in the bookcase. I don’t know what made me look but there it was.

You can’t do anything tonight about them so stop looking and have a night’s sleep, then start again in the morning. I’d have thought you could get a replacement without the pp number - it must happen to loads of people and it’s also linked to your driving licence, if you have one.

Hope they turn up in the morning!

Lost passports. My head is in a muddle of panic.

Thought I would have a quick look to see the date of expiry on them/. We use them for id as we haven’t been abroad for quite awhile. Last time was about December /January time when renewing a bond at the building society. Now I am really careful about passports and would have put them back in drawer in the same place. Also I would have been placed them back in my handbag as soon as they were seen. Have had everything out, drawers, handbags looked everywhere. I found an envelope with a receipt for mine which shows the number and date of issue. However, my dh’s envelope probably contains the two missing passports! I looked in the phone bookas I write most things down and there were old passport numbers but not the new ones. This has never happened before. Will I be able to cancel dh’s passport without the number. I remember they were issued from two different offices so I hope the issue date will be the same as on my receipt. Just asking as my head is aching and I know I am supposed to report list passports as soon as possible.
