Has anyone done this process? I got mixed reviews from google maps. Just wondering what others have experienced.

Simple....take the documents as I mentioned earlier, arrive early, dress appropriately (not in shorts, flip flops and wife beater), be polite, respectful & patient, don't show any signs of frustration or anger. You'll have to fill out a form, submit that with your passport and copies of police report, etc., pay the fee, get receipt, then go back in 1 or 2 days to collect.

Do you still have to walk through that phone booth thing in the doorway that sprays your entire body with disinfectant? Good times.

Ok, as much as I thought this was going to be super easy it turned out to be the hardest part .. maybe that's because I live up street 2004 with my girlfriend's family near airport in the Khmer only hood.

Anyway I went to what I thought was supposed to be a district which is literally 0.9 miles away and it wasn't. No one spoke English.I walked in the sergeant (or whatever you call these dudes) had some hottie hanging out.
Totally look like I was interrupting something and he didn't seem happy about it. He definitely didn't want to give me a police report at least at that time and place! Luckily someone pulled up on motor bike and spoke English.

I explained to him the details and he said you got the wrong district even though it's just 0.9 miles away. So we started going around looking for other districts with me on the back of his Honda dream. Finally after going to numerous alleys of slate and shale that almost gave him a flat or caused him to wreck the bike that's going to what looks like a shack where again some old dude was sitting in a dimly lit room with no windows. The guy greats him and gives him the gist of my situation. I call my girlfriend and talk to her for a second and for some reason I give the phone to the old man police officer thinking she was going to get me out of some trouble...

But this wasn't trouble I was trying to get out of, rather a police report for the lost passport.

Finally I am taken to a room in the back and a guy finds the correct piece of paper to copy the lost passport on a dinky inkjet printer.

He starts asking me all kinds of questions as to why I lost my passport and I told him if I knew that I wouldn't have lost it. This while the other guy starts asking me if I'm CIA!?? I'm not really sure if it was a joking if he was serious cuz he never actually started laughing but I did.

Anyway with all kidding aside and after a few different guys come in through throught the small room grabbing AK-47s out of the out of the safe in the back I finally got my report and was out of there like a bat out of hell... Back thru the shale alleys to the other district where we came from before.


Then that was that I paid the dude 10 bucks for his time and I moved on there's a couple details I left out for personal reasons but it was really an experience worth seeing or definitely worth and avoiding, I'm not still sure yet I'm trying to process it all.. anyway thanks for reading and I hope this helps!

It sounds like you may have gone to the district police office rather than the commune/sangkat. According to Cambodian procedure, you have to file your complaint in the commune where you claim the crime took place.

Never claim u were robbed ( crime) claim it was lost
Unless you were robbed by gunpoint and "lost" ur passport, you could go to any police station and file ur report,
after all how would you know 100% where you "lost" it
