Lost passport procedure?

[tim]

The other thread has inspired me to inquire of the Forum what one would do upon losing one's passport in St. Barth. I would hope no one has actual experience with this mini-crisis, but can readers outline the procedure in case it happens to someone?

No idea, but in this digital/smart phone age, I know it's a good idea to take photos of your passport and keep them on your phone. Also email them to an account you can access remotely (like gmail) so if you also lose your phone you can still download and print the passport photo.

I print ours and bring it with us.
