It is advisable for you to obtain a new passport as soon as possible and thereafter apply to renew your re-entry permit (REP) or transfer your valid REP online. Please note that a passport must have at least 3 months validity in order to make an REP application online via the e-Service. You may submit your REP application after you have received your new passport.
