Lost Passport

When you have lost your passport, you must follow the procedure for obtaining a new passport. In addition, you must fill out a Lost Passport form. If you need super rush service then you must click here for special instructions.

Call your local Post Office and find out which branch is authorized to handle passport applications. (In some areas, the Clerk of the Court can perform this service). This is what you need to do:

   Gather the following application documents:

1. A certified birth certificate (with raised seal), naturalization certificate, or earlier U.S. passport;
2. 2 professionally-taken recent passport photos - do not use kiosk or your own photos;
3. 2 copies of proof of travel - travel agent itinerary in your name or copy of tickets;
4. 2 copies of our authorization form (click to print).
5. 2 copies of passport application form DS-11 - this must be filled out online. Click here for the DS-11 and follow instructions carefully.
6. The lost passport form DS-64 - this also must be filled out out online. Click here for the DS-64 and follow instructions carefully.
7. Your drivers license or other current government photo ID.
8. One copy of our Traveler Information and Payment Form (click to download).

1. One copy of the DS-11 application form (generated online in step 1-E above);
2. Two passport photos;
3. One copy of our authorization form (from step 1-D above);
4. One copy of your itinerary;
5. Your certified birth certificate (or earlier passport or naturalization certificate);
6. U.S. Passport Services Fee of $135 made payable to the US Department of State. (The agent will charge a $30 fee.)
7. If you are submitting multiple applications note that EACH applicant's application and supporting material must be sealed separately. You cannot submit multiple applications in a single sealed envelope; use separate envelopes for each applicant. Please advise your acceptance agent to seal each application separately!

DO NOT LET the postal official mail this envelope. Ask for it back, explaining you're having it hand-carried through U.S. Passport HQ in Washington, DC.

Then place this sealed envelope in a shipping carrier's envelope (i.e. FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc.) together with:

1. A copy of the DS-11 application form;
2. Second authorization showing your birth date;
3. Second copy of your itinerary showing travel dates;
4. A letter stating whether or not you have found the old passport;
5. Our Traveler Information/Payment Form from step 1-G above;
6. Passport & Visa Exchange Special Discounted Fee
