Lost or Stolen Passports

In the event that your passport is lost in a public place or stolen, you must report the loss or theft to local authorities and obtain a police report.  You will need to present the police report with your application for a replacement passport.

Obtaining a replacement passport is a two-step process.  First, you must report the loss or theft of your valid passport immediately to the nearest U.S. Passport Office or U.S. Embassy or Consulate using form DS-64 "Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen Passport."
The second step is to apply for a replacement passport.

In the event that your passport is lost or stolen while in Mexico please come in person to the American Citizens Services unit of the Consulate.  Depending on your personal circumstances, we will process your application for a new full-validity or emergency (limited-validity) passport.  Application requirements, including fees, for emergency passports are the same as those for full-validity passports.

You will need proof of citizenship and a photo ID, such as a driver's license or school ID. The cost of the passport is $97 for adults and $ 82 for minors under age 16.

The American Citizens Services unit will only issue emergency passports that are needed for urgent travel.  In most cases, same-day issuance is possible for emergency passports. However, some cases require approval from the Department of State prior to issuance.
