DS-64 Customer-Assembly Preparation Kit

This workflow helps you prepare a mailed report of a valid U.S. passport that was lost or stolen. PostalForm prepares the official form and delivers the unsigned preparation kit only to your verified address. PostalForm does not file, serve, or submit it. Hand-sign and date DS-64, add front-and-back photocopies of valid photo identification and any applicable supporting documents, and mail the report to the address printed on the current form yourself. Use the State Department’s online reporting tool instead when immediate cancellation is needed.

Prepare DS-64 for your own final assembly and submission

PostalForm prepares and prints an unsigned customer-assembly kit and sends it only to your verified address. You perform final assembly and submission.

Important details+

Answer the guided questions and PostalForm prepares the official form, leaves signature areas blank, adds a customer instruction cover, and sends the packet only to your verified address. Nothing is filed or submitted for you. Hand-sign and date DS-64, add front-and-back photocopies of valid photo identification and any applicable supporting documents, and mail the report to the address printed on the current form yourself. Use the State Department’s online reporting tool instead when immediate cancellation is needed.

What you need+
  • Passport-holder name, date of birth, and contact details
  • Whether the lost item was a passport book, passport card, or both
  • Details about how and where the loss or theft occurred
  • Known passport numbers and issue dates, if available
  • Signature and date
  • Hand-sign the printed form after the preparation kit is delivered
  • Government-issued photo ID copy (optional) — 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) — 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) — If a police report was filed and is available, attach a copy.
  • Parent or guardian ID copies for a child under 16 (optional) — 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.
  • Sole-authority document for a child under 16 (optional) — If only one parent or guardian has authority to act for a child under 16, attach the supporting document the form references, such as a court order or Form DS-5525.

  4. Verify the current deadline and destination, then personally complete final submission through the official channel.
Where it gets mailed+

PostalForm mails the unsigned preparation kit to you. You complete the signatures, physical enclosures, and final submission yourself.

Packet order+
  • Customer assembly instruction cover (remove and keep before final submission)
  • Prepared unsigned form (signature and reserved third-party fields blank)
  • Printed reference attachments
Common mistakes+
  • Using the standalone CLASP mailing address when the form is actually being submitted with a new passport application.
  • Forgetting that once reported, the missing passport is electronically cancelled and cannot be used for travel.
  • Leaving the document-status section blank instead of identifying whether the passport book or passport card was lost or stolen.
  • Skipping parent or guardian signatures when the passport holder is under age 16.
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.
