How do i report a lost or stolen passport??

Question

im an american citizen.

do i have to pay again?
how do i know if someone used it for identity theft?

.....and where do i go to report it?

Answer 1

try the national passport information center 877 487 2778. also try 202 955 0430 for lost/stolen passports.

Answer 2

because a passport is an particularly helpful document that ought to certainly be abused through a criminal who seems such as you, you're required through regulation to report any such loss to the Police. The Police will then enter this right into a federal database and the U.S. branch of State will flag this passport stolen and declare it as void. If someone tries to apply it at an airport, he or she will be in a position to be arrested on the spot.

Answer 3

Well, first of all, where are you?

If you are in the US, report it to the police, then to the US State Department, and/or go to the Post Office where you can make an application and ask them what to do. Yes, you'll have to pay the fee again.

If you are not in the US, then report to the nearest US Embassy or Consulate. Unfortuantely, it's going to be extremely difficult to get another passport if you are overseas, unless you have your original copy of your birth certificate with you, which is unlikely. I don't know what they do in that case.

Answer 4

yes you would have to pay again and yes it can be used as part of identity theft:

Police is first, then bank ( in case somebody tries to defraud you )
You should contact also the passport office where is was issued as passports are coded so that code can be tagged with stolen and it would mean that it is invalid
Yes they will charge you around 40 quid!
