Replacing a Lost or Stolen Passport

Replacing a Lost or Stolen Passport

If your passport was lost or stolen, you must appear in person to apply for a new U.S. passport and present the following required items.  The Consular Section cannot accept incomplete applications.

• Completed, but not signed, Form DS-11. 
• Complete and signed Form DS-64 (Statement Regarding a Lost of Stolen Passport)
• A police report if the passport was stolen.
• Two full-face 2 inch by 2 inch identical color photographs taken within the last six months with a white or light background. 
• Proof of citizenship such as an original U.S. birth certificate.  If you cannot obtain proof of citizenship, the Consular Section can access previous passport applications to verify your citizenship.
• Proof of identity, such as a photo identification card.
• Cash fee of $100 ($75 application fee, $25 execution fee).

To prevent identity theft, please report any lost or stolen passports as quickly as possible.  If you find a passport that was reported lost or stolen, it is invalid and cannot be used for travel.
