1. Well, you must lodge complaint with police if passport is indeed lost.

2. If you are unaware from where the passport is lost then you can lodge such complaint in police station of your choice.

3. If there is mismatch in dates then you can always mention in the complaint of Police that since you are not sure when the passport is lost hence you are giving different dates which may be probable date of poss.

You are concerned with the FIR.

If the police from other station is ready and willing to oblige to register FIR in their station, you can go ahead.

The FIR and non-traceable certificate by police would suffice the requirement to obtain passport or further requirements if any, may be enquired from the passport office.
