Everything You Need to Know About Lost or Stolen Passports

Complete guide — what to do immediately, required documents, the replacement process, and timing.

What to Do Immediately After Losing Your Passport

🇺🇸

If You Are in the United States

Report the loss immediately using Form DS-64 at travel.state.gov. This permanently invalidates the passport and prevents fraudulent use. Then apply for a replacement using Form DS-11 in person at a passport acceptance facility.

Important: A lost/stolen passport cannot be renewed by mail — even if it was still valid. Form DS-11 in person is required every time.

✈️

If You Are Abroad

Contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate immediately. They can issue an emergency limited-validity passport so you can return home. Once back in the U.S., apply for a full-validity replacement through our expedited service.

If stolen: File a local police report for identity protection, especially if other documents were taken at the same time. Not required by the State Department but strongly recommended.

The Replacement Process Explained

📝

Form DS-64 & Form DS-11

Form DS-64 (Statement Regarding Lost or Stolen Passport) permanently invalidates the lost passport. Form DS-11 (Application for U.S. Passport) is the replacement application — completed but not signed until you are in front of the acceptance agent.

We prepare both forms and review them for accuracy before your visit.

⚠️

Key Replacement Rules

Cannot renew by mail — must apply in person with DS-11
Replacement passport gets a new, different passport number
Old number is permanently invalidated — cannot be reactivated
If found after reporting lost, the old passport is still invalid
Processing time same as first-time passport (13-15 weeks standard)

Frequently Asked Questions About Lost or Stolen Passports

Answers to the most urgent questions about passport replacement.

Immediate Steps

What do I do immediately after losing my passport?+

Report it immediately using Form DS-64 at travel.state.gov — this permanently invalidates the passport and prevents fraudulent use. If stolen, also file a police report for identity protection. Then apply for a replacement using Form DS-11 in person at a passport acceptance facility. PassportsAndVisas.com can expedite your replacement in as fast as 3 business days.

Can I travel with a lost passport report?+

No. A DS-64 report does not allow travel. You must have a valid replacement passport. If you have urgent travel, use our Emergency 3-4 day service. If abroad, visit the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate for an emergency limited-validity passport.

What if my passport was lost or stolen abroad?+

Do I need a police report if my passport was stolen?+

Not required by the State Department, but strongly recommended if your passport was stolen — especially if other documents were taken at the same time. The police report provides documentation for identity protection and potential fraud alerts.

Documents

What documents do I need to replace a lost or stolen passport?+

You need: Form DS-64 (Statement Regarding Lost or Stolen Passport), Form DS-11 (Application for U.S. Passport — unsigned until in front of acceptance agent), proof of U.S. citizenship (original or certified birth certificate), valid government-issued photo ID, and one passport photo (2x2 inch, white background, within 6 months). We review all documents before submission.

Can I renew a lost or stolen passport by mail?+

No. Even if your passport was still valid when lost, you cannot use Form DS-82 (mail renewal). You must apply in person using Form DS-11. This requirement exists so the State Department can verify your identity in person.

What if my citizenship document was also lost or stolen?+

You must obtain a replacement birth certificate or naturalization certificate before applying for a replacement passport. Contact the vital records office in your birth state for a certified birth certificate, or file Form N-565 with USCIS for a naturalization certificate.

Timing

How long does it take to replace a lost or stolen passport?+

Standard government processing takes 13-15 weeks. Our expedited services: Emergency 3-4 days, Rush 7 days, Priority 9 days, Standard 15 days. We hand-courier your application directly to the passport agency, eliminating weeks of mail time.

What happens to my old passport number after reporting it lost?+

The passport is permanently invalidated in the State Department database. Your replacement will have a completely different number. Even if you find the original passport later, it cannot be used for travel and cannot be reactivated under any circumstances.

What if I find my passport after reporting it lost?+

The found passport is still permanently invalid and cannot be used for travel. Continue with your replacement application. Destroy the found passport by cutting it up and writing VOID across the pages.
