See I know how important these are and was wondering what happens. So im just curious so plz answer my brain feels all weird cause i don't know how to answer itWhat happens if you lose ur passports, birth certificate, American citizenship, and marriage certificate?
Reapply. They have records, even in third world countries. My wife lost her birth certificate 3 years ago, she went back to where she was born (third world country) and got a new one. Had to pay a fine but nonethe less, she got a new one. It's going to be a hassle, but you can get new ones. Always keep a copy of everything you have. I scan all my document, burn it onto a disc and keep them in a bank safe deposite box.What happens if you lose ur passports, birth certificate, American citizenship, and marriage certificate?
You don't say which country you have lost them in... I can only answer in relation to the UK. Other countries may vary.





Report the lost documents to the local police station of the area in which they were lost in order to help prevent identity fraud. You should then notify each relevant government body to inform them of the losses. With regards to the passport you would need to contact either the passport office or the US embassy (or the embassy for whichever country relates to you). Police stations cannot hold passports as lost property due to the risk of identity fraud - they are destroyed or immediately returned to the passport office.





You can obtain copies of your birth certificate, marriage certificate etc but it will cost you. You may need a Crime File reference number (obtained by reporting the items as lost to the police) in order to cancel your lost passport etc and to re-apply. This is to avoid duplication. They will often want to know your passport number so it's always worth keeping a record of it somewhere secure, e.g. a safety deposit box at the bank.
You`re in butt load of trouble!....It`s like ''If you never had a mom %26amp; a dad, chances are good that you will never have any kids either';...But just because you would lose those 3 certificates does not mean you would lose your citizenship.Your birth is registered in State records books and so is your marriage...and your passport.
Go get copies, I am sure you know where you were born , where you were married and know where to get passports. You did not say you lost a social security card, so use it to get all these copies. If you are a American Citizen you can do it in the USA.
You have to replace then all .thats going to be quite an expensive
