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 provides details regarding 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 the form on the Department of State's
website, <a href="http://travel.state.gov">travel.state.gov</a>, where it can be completed, signed, and
submitted electronically. The DS-64 is also available at
<a href="http://eforms.state.gov">eforms.state.gov</a> where it can be completed online and printed for
signature and submission. Additionally, passport bearers have the
option to call the National Passport Information Center (NPIC) at 1-
877-487-2778 or mail in a hardcopy of the form. The form can be
obtained at any passport agency or acceptance facility.

Managing Director for Passport Support Operations, Bureau of Consular
Affairs, Passport Services, Department of State.
