Lost or Stolen Passports
If your passport has been lost or stolen, you should report it immediately to the U.S. Department of State. Report Your Lost/Stolen Passport (form DS-64).
Reporting your prior passport lost or stolen does not replace it. Schedule an appointment with us to replace your passport and submit form DS-64, form DS-11, and other required documents when you apply in person.
Questions
We encourage you to reach out to us prior to your appointment. Our staff can provide information on all the required documents before your visit.
