If your passport has been lost or stolen the Embassy cannot issue a replacement unless the following requirements are met:-

1. The lost passport has been reported to the Saudi Passport and Immigration Authorities, and their report (together with a translation in English) is produced.

2. The stolen passport has been reported to the local police, and their report (together with a translation in English) is produced.

3. Submission of a correctly completed Passport Application Form, a completed Lost/Stolen Report Form ( LSO1 ) and three passport size photographs (one of which should be endorsed as indicated on the application form).

4. Payment of the correct passport fee.

If the lost/stolen passport was issued in Riyadh, a replacement may be issued within 10 working days. However, if issued at another Passport Office, Embassy or Consulate,  it may take longer than 10 days to replace as further enquiries may have to be made.
