Lost Passports
If you can't find your passport or you suspect your passport was
stolen, you can and should replace your passport quickly. Lost passports
are surprisingly common due to the infrequency with which they are
used, but replacing passports quickly ensures that the US State
Department can cancel the lost passport before it ends up in the
wrong hands.
Replace US Passports
Although many peoples first instinct is to assume a missing passport
may have been stolen, often the passport has been misplaced and
usually turns up, unfortunately not usually in time for that upcoming
trip. Replacing a lost passport is similar to applying for a new
passport with the addition of a form used to explain the circumstance
behind the loss or theft of the passport. The form, called a DS-64,
asks questions about the passport itself such as number and expiration
date (which most people do not know and leave blank) and then follows
up with questions about the last time the passport was seen and
what the applicant has done to try to recover the passport. To view
complete instructions, visit our Lost
or Stolen US Passport Replacement Service page.
Stolen Passports
Although reporting the passport missing is important, it is recommended
that applicants take an extra few minutes to look for the passport.
Sometimes lost passports end up in the junk drawer in the kitchen
or the glove box of your car - At ItsEasy Passport Services, we
have heard of lost passports showing up in some very odd places.
So although we are here to help replace your lost US passport when
you need us to, take a breath, ask a friend to help, look in the
places you're sure it isn't - if you still need us to replace your
lost passport, we'll be here.
