LOST PASSPORT

[Masterixas]

Hi guys,

My wife who is a Russian citizen and registered with the home office with a valid stamp for 5 years residence as a wife of an European Citizen (me), lost her passport this week.

She will do a new passport with the Russian Embassy in London, but my question is when this passport comes will have no immigration stamp so I guess we need to inform the home office or Board Agency. I want to know what documetns we will need and if she can with me go down to Croydon and get the stamp straight away since she is already registered and we still have the papers sent by the home office saying that she had been registered. I would assume the Home office holds her information.

Can we get her stamp quick or is that another 6 months wait?
Can we do it in person, or we need to fill out a form again and send it by mail as it was for the first time?
Will the new stamp reflect on the time she is already here, or will reset all to level zero and she will wait again a new 5 years until be able to apply for UK permanent residence?

Thanks guys
