Abstract of Proposed Collection
The Secretary of State is authorized to issue U.S. passports under
22 U.S.C. 211a et seq., 8 U.S.C. 1104, and Executive Order 11295
(August 5, 1966). Department regulations provide that individuals whose
valid or potentially valid U.S. passports were lost or stolen must
report the lost or stolen passport to the Department of State before
receiving a new passport so that the lost or stolen passport can be
invalidated (22 CFR parts 50 and 51). The Enhanced Border Security and
Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (8 U.S.C. 1737) requires the Department
of State to collect accurate information on lost or stolen U.S.
passports and to enter that information into a data system. Form DS-64
collects information identifying the person who held the valid lost or
stolen passport and describing the circumstances under which the
passport was lost or stolen. As required by the cited authorities, we
use the information collected to accurately identify the passport that
must be invalidated and to make a record of the circumstances
surrounding the lost or stolen passport.
Methodology
Passport bearers may submit their form electronically on
<a href="http://www.travel.state.gov">www.travel.state.gov</a> or call the National Passport Information Center
at 1-877-487-2778. A person may also download the form from the
internet or obtain one at any passport agency or acceptance facility.
Amanda E. Jones,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Passport
Services, U.S. Department of State.
