Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The Secretary of State is authorized to 

issue U.S. passports under 8 U.S.C. 

1104, 22 U.S.C. 211a et seq, 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 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. 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. 

False statements made knowingly or 

willfully on passport forms, in 

affidavits, or other supporting 

documents, are punishable by fine and/ 

or imprisonment under U.S. law. (18 

U.S.C. 1001, 1542–1544). 

Methodology 

Passport applicants can submit their 

form electronically on 

www.travel.state.gov or call the National 

Passport Information Center at 1–877– 

487–2778. Applicants can also 

download the form from the internet or 

obtain one at any Passport Agency or 

Acceptance Facility.
