  • Known passport numbers and issue dates, if available
  • Signature and date
  • Signed form (wet signature required)
  • Government-issued photo ID copy (optional) โ€” If this DS-64 is being mailed by itself and not with a new passport application, attach front and back photocopies of a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or state-issued identification.
  • Photocopy of the lost or stolen passport, if available (optional) โ€” The form asks you to include a photocopy of the valid lost or stolen passport book or passport card if one is available.
  • Police report copy (optional) โ€” If a police report was filed and is available, attach a copy.
  • Parent or guardian ID copies for a child under 16 (optional) โ€” For a child younger than 16, the form says both parents or guardians should sign and provide front and back photocopies of ID unless one person has sole authority.

FAQs+
What happens after I report my passport lost or stolen on DS-64?

The State Department warns that once the passport is reported, it is electronically cancelled and cannot be used for travel.

Can I mail DS-64 by itself?

Yes. The form says you can mail DS-64 by itself to CLASP if you are not applying for a new passport at the same time.

Do both parents need to sign for a child under 16?

The official form states that both parents or guardians of a child younger than 16 must sign and provide photocopies of ID unless one parent or guardian has sole authority.
