Report the Lost or Stolen Passport
Complete form DS-64: Statement Regarding Lost or Stolen Passport to report a passport lost or stolen. Include lots of detail on the form and sign it.
Lost or Stolen Passports Overseas
If a passport is lost overseas, go to the closest U.S. Embassy or Consulate in that country as soon as possible. Personnel there will help you to report the lost passport and apply for a new one, so that you will not have any trouble traveling back to the U.S. or to other countries so that you can continue your adventure.
Apply for a New Passport
Fill out an application for a new passport, Form DS-11: Application for a U.S. Passport, to replace the lost or stolen one. This form may be completed online, but do not sign it until you are in the presences of personnel at the passport acceptance facility.
Show Proof of Citizenship and Identification
Present proof of citizenship, like a birth certificate or citizenship certification. Identification must also be presented. Some acceptable forms of identification include a driver's license or military identification.
Photocopy of Identification
A photocopy of the identification presented must also be included with the passport application. The copy should be on white paper, and copies should be made only on the front side of the pages.
Get Photos and Pay Fees
Include two color identical passport photos with the application. Also, pay the appropriate fees. It is best to obtain the current passport fee amount from the acceptance facility.
