Dear NSW Police Force,
I asked to insurence services unit to obtain incident report copy of lost passport and they said it's take 8 weeks, unless I am travelling, but I can't book a ticket because after getting a report I have to apply for passport, which going to take 8 to 12 weeks. I can do priority base, but I have to get a report first. Is there any I can get the hard copy quickly.

Yours faithfully,
Dharampreet Singh
