# Form DS-64 Online

Prepare a mailable Form DS-64 online to report a valid lost or stolen U.S. passport book or passport card.

## How it works
1. **Fill out the form** - Complete the guided fields online.
2. **Add attachments** - Upload any required documents.
3. **Preview the PDF** - Review the final form before mailing.
4. **Mail it** - We print and mail the packet for you.


## Form summary
Use this workflow when your still-valid U.S. passport book or passport card is lost or stolen. Enter the passport-holder details, explain the loss, and generate a finished DS-64 PDF for mailing or for inclusion with a replacement passport application.

## 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
- Signed form (wet signature required)
- 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.

## Data collected
- Whether a passport book and/or passport card was lost or stolen
- Passport-holder identity and contact details
- Narrative details about how and where the loss or theft happened
- Known passport numbers and issue dates
- Prior lost or stolen passport history
- Signature and date for the applicant or parents/guardians of a minor

## Where it gets mailed
You will enter the recipient address during checkout.

## Packet order
- Cover sheet (auto-generated)
- Completed form PDF
- Attachments (in the order you upload)

## 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.

## Agent summary
This workflow collects document status, passport-holder identity, loss details, prior-incident history, and signature information needed to prepare Form DS-64.

## 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.
