Lost & Stolen Passports

Report your physical U.S. passport lost or stolen immediately to protect yourself from identity theft. You can replace it now or later - it's up to you! 

​

Records and IT systems do not connect to the records or systems of outside companies. No one can access records or obtain copies of a U.S. citizen’s records by using a passport number.

​

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. 

​

To replace a lost or stolen passport, you must fill out a DS11 form and apply in person. You can replace it now or later - it's up to you!
