Who qualifies

U.S. citizens or non-citizen nationals whose valid or expired U.S. passport book or card has been lost, stolen, or destroyed.

The step-by-step roadmap

  1. 1

    Gather Passport Details

    Locate your passport number, issue date, and personal identifying details if you have copies saved.

    Watch out: Never guess your passport number. Leave the field blank if you do not know it.
    Common rejection reason: Mismatched personal records or incorrect dates.
  2. 2

    Describe the Loss Incident

    Provide a brief, factual explanation detailing how, when, and where your passport went missing.

    Watch out: Once reported, your passport is permanently invalidated and cannot be used if found later.
    Common rejection reason: Leaving incident descriptions blank or contradictory details.
  3. 3

    File a Police Report (If Stolen)

    Notify local law enforcement if your passport was stolen, and record the official incident number.

    Watch out: Keep a physical copy of the police report for your replacement application.
    Common rejection reason: Incorrect or unverified police department details.
  4. 4

    Submit the Report

    Submit Form DS-64 online immediately, or mail the paper form along with Form DS-11 if replacing it.

    Watch out: If you need a replacement passport quickly, you must apply in person using Form DS-11.
    Common rejection reason: Unsigned paper forms or sending to the wrong processing address.

Documents you'll need

  • Government-Issued Photo ID

    A valid state driver's license or ID card to prove identity.

    Note: Required if submitting a replacement application in person.

  • Copy of Police Report

    Documentation from local law enforcement if the passport was stolen.

    Note: Optional for the report, but recommended to document theft.

  • Form DS-11 (If Replacing)

    Application form required if you want to replace your missing passport.

    Note: Must be executed in person at an acceptance facility.
