Same Day Instructions for Lost or Stolen Passport Replacement

Important: We can only process passports & visas for US residents. If you live outside the United States we cannot help you obtain a visa for travel.

In order for us to process your passport for you, you must first go to a local acceptance location which will either be a special post office or county clerk's office. Make sure you take sufficient identification, such as a driver's license with you. You will need to show the items listed below, which will then be put into a government sealed envelope. Make sure you get the envelope back from the clerk, and do not open it.

Follow these instructions if you are leaving the country within 4 business days.
