Duplicate passports are not issued.
However, a new passport with different passport number may be issued with fresh validity. The applicant has to apply under the 're–issue' category with reason as Lost/Damaged passport.

I have already applied and paid the fees. My appointment is in february. My question is regarding what documents would I need since it is a re-issue of a stolen passport ?
Following documents must be submitted along with the application:
