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). Individuals 

whose valid or potentially valid U.S. 

passports were lost or stolen must make 

a report of the lost or stolen passport to 

the Department of State before they 

receive 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 lost or stolen passport and 

describing the circumstances under 

which the passport was lost or stolen. 

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 as required by 

these authorities. 

Methodology: This form is used in 

conjunction with a DS–11, ‘‘Application 

for a U.S. Passport’’, or submitted 

separately to report loss or theft of a 

U.S. passport. Passport Services collects 

the information when a U.S. citizen or 

non-citizen national applies for a new 

U.S. passport and has been issued a 

previous, still valid U.S. passport that 

has been lost or stolen, or when a 

passport holder independently reports it 

lost or stolen. Passport applicants can 

either download the form from the 

internet or obtain one at any Passport 

Agency or Acceptance Facility. 

Dated: November 6, 2012.

Services, Bureau of Consular Affairs,
