Emergency Travel Documents (ETD)

E.T.D. – Emergency Travel Document

If the passport or travel document of an Italian or EU citizen is lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Consular Office can issue an EU Emergency Travel Document (EU ETD). This temporary travel document is valid for the duration of the trip for which it was issued, limited to the time strictly necessary for re-entry into Italy, the Country of AIRE residence, or the Member State of which the applicant is a citizen. For issuance, the applicant (including infants and minors) must be present at the Embassy.

 

The beneficiary of an EU ETD is required to return the document, whether expired or not, upon arrival at the destination to the border police or another police station, or to the consular office with territorial jurisdiction for the district of residence in the destination Country.
