Passports and Reports of Birth
Lost/Stolen Passport
1. Anyone whose previous passport was lost or stolen must apply in person.
2. To qualify for a replacement passport, you must provide evidence of your citizenship and identity. Examples of acceptable proof of identity or citizenship include:
-
An original expired U.S. Passport.
-
An original U.S. Certificate of Naturalization
-
An original U.S. driver's license (proof of identity only)
-
An original U.S. birth certificate (proof of citizenship only)
An officer may consider any other evidence of citizenship or identity that the applicant might provide, but can issue a new passport only if convinced of the applicant's identity and U.S. citizenship.
3. Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen Passport (Form DS-64) and an incident report from the police in the jurisdiction where the loss occurred.

If the parents or legal guardians have not accompanied the child, then the person in loco parentis must present his/her passport and a notarized statement from the parents or legal guardians authorizing the person to make the application. (Also see Passports for Minors above).
