Lost Passport Renewal: Key Points to Remember

If you've lost your passport, follow these essential steps when filling out the Lost Passport Renewal application (Lost Passport Form):

• 1. Application Form DS-11

  Begin by completing the DS-11 application form. Ensure that the name on your application matches the name on your lost passport, including any middle names. Any inconsistencies can lead to delays in the Lost Passport Application process.

• 2. Accurate SS

  Verify that your Social Security Number (SSN) on the application is correct. It's important to note that you don't need to submit a copy of your SSN along with your application, except in complicated cases. An incorrect SSN can result in requests for the original SSN.

• 3. Travel Dates

  If you plan to travel within 14 days of your Lost Passport Renewal application submission, make sure to include your travel dates on the application. If not, leave this section empty.

• 4. Passport Card Details

  Don't forget to include details about any passport cards you may have been issued. Omitting this information can lead to delays in your Lost Passport Application.

• 7. Signing the Application

  Don't sign the application form until you are instructed to do so during the application sealing process.
