If you have lost your passport while in Kenya while on holiday. You will need to report this to the local police. The Kenyan police will then provide you with a case number which the High Commission will need. When you apply for the new passport they also want the case number from you. They will then provide you with a new passport or a temporary travel document so that you can leave the country. If you need a public notary then you will also need to make an appointment to have  your documents notarised. See the High Commissions email address as well as their updated telephone number.
