What if a friend loses his passport in Japan?

/kloc-China citizens aged 0/6 and above with Japanese legal residence qualifications need to apply for a new passport if their ordinary passports are lost, stolen or damaged for personal reasons. Applicants must apply in person at the embassy or consulate general. For the application requirements of minors under 16, please refer to Application for Personal Passport for Minors under 16 due to Lost or Damaged Passport.

I. Materials required for application

1. Fill in the application form for China passport/travel permit/certificate of return to China truthfully, completely and clearly.

2. Copy of passport photo page (unless there is no copy)

2 photos with pure white background within 3.6 months (specifications require, digital photos are not required).

4, "in the card" or "foreigner registration certificate" and the original copy of the front and back.

5. Original "Resident Ticket" (issued by the service office of downtown machimura within 3 months)

6. Passport loss certificate issued by the police station.

7. 1 passport loss or damage report.

Description:

1. The original passport was issued by embassies and consulates in China or other non-jurisdictional areas, and relevant information needs to be verified. It will not be regarded as an urgent or urgent document. Please collect your passport at the embassy or consulate after receiving the notice.

2. If you have reported the loss of your passport, please send your old passport to the embassy or consulate for cancellation. Holding a passport that has been reported lost may be refused entry or exit or punished.

People who come to Japan with short-term visas have lost their passports, so they can't apply for a replacement passport, so they can only apply for a travel permit to return to China.

I looked it up on the website of the Japanese Embassy.
