Want to immediately replace your valid lost or stolen passport? Reporting it lost or stolen does not automatically replace it. You must apply in person and submit both Form DS-64 and Form DS-11 if you want a replacement passport.
Visit our Online Form Filler to report your passport lost or stolen.
When you report your passport lost or stolen online using our form filler, we will ask if you want to reapply for a new passport. The form filler will create both a Report of a Lost or Stolen Passport (DS-64) and an Application for a U.S. Passport (DS-11) if you want to reapply for a new passport now.
Complete Form DS-64 and Form DS-11, and submit both forms when you apply in person. Both forms can be filled out using our online form filler, which will save you time and reduce errors caused by handwriting.
Follow the steps on our Apply in Person page to learn how and where to submit these two forms.
If you do not report your passport lost in the mail within 90 days from the date it was issued, you must apply again and pay all applicable fees.
No. If your passport is expired, it is no longer valid and cannot be used for international travel. You should not report an expired passport as lost or stolen.
No. No one can travel internationally using only a U.S. passport number. Travelers must present an original, physical version of a U.S. passport book or U.S. passport card upon entering a foreign country and when returning to the United States from a foreign country.
The U.S. passport book and passport card are highly secure documents with numerous security features designed to prevent successful counterfeiting.
We do not recommend reporting your U.S. passport lost or stolen if your passport number was compromised. You should only report your U.S. passport lost or stolen if the original, physical version of the passport book or passport card has been lost or stolen. Once you report a U.S. passport lost or stolen, it is invalid and cannot be used for international travel.
If you find another person's lost U.S. passport, please mail it in a sturdy envelope to:
U.S. Department of State
Consular Lost and Stolen Passport Unit (CLASP)
44132 Mercure Circle
PO Box 1227
Sterling, VA 20166-1227
You can return the passport of a deceased relative for cancelation. We can return the passport after it is canceled.

No. If you have already reported your passport lost or stolen, the passport is no longer valid and cannot be used for international travel. If you attempt to use your U.S. passport which you reported as lost or stolen, you may have issues while traveling, such as a foreign country denying entry to you.
If you want to travel internationally after reporting your passport lost or stolen, you must apply for a new passport in person using Form DS-11.
