Replacing a Lost or Stolen Passport

If your passport has been lost or stolen, contact the American Citizen Services section (6476-9100 or SingaporeACS@state.gov) as quickly as possible to report the loss, in order to minimize the opportunity for someone else to use your passport for illicit purposes.

Before you can have the passport replaced, you must also report the theft or loss to the Singapore Police and obtain a copy of the report that they prepare. Then bring the following documents to the ACS section at the Embassy:

• Copy of the police report showing you have reported the loss or theft to the Singapore police
• A completed form DS-11 (Print Form DS-11); do not sign form DS-11 as you will be asked to sign in the presence of the Passport official. The form may be obtained at the ACS office or a U.S. passport agency. Be sure to include your social security number on the application form, as we cannot process your application without it.
• A completed form DS-64 (Print Form DS-64) which is a statement regarding a lost or stolen passport. The form may be obtained at the ACS office.
• Two recent 2" x 2" (50mm X 50mm) passport photos. Please review the Passport Photograph Requirements.
• Proof of U.S. citizenship. Acceptable documents proving U.S. citizenship are: a prior U.S. passport (other than the emergency passport), a U.S.-issued birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, a Certificate of Citizenship, or a Certificate of Naturalization. Other documents, such as U.S. Driver's Licenses, Military ID cards, Credit Cards and the like are NOT evidence of citizenship.
• If you are not able to produce documentary proof of U.S. citizenship, the Passport officer will interview you and check passport files to determine if you are an American citizen.
• Fee of US$100 for adults or US$85 for children.

MAY I HAVE SOMEONE ELSE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR ME?

If you are replacing a replacing a lost or stolen passport, you are required to appear in person.

Both parents must also appear for a child under the age of 14, or a notarized Letter of Consent (Form DS-3053 or a similar letter of authorization) from a parent who cannot appear must be provided.

I REPORTED TO THE EMBASSY THAT MY PASSPORT WAS LOST, BUT THEN I RECOVERED IT. MAY I USE IT TO TRAVEL?

Once a passport is reported lost or stolen to the Embassy, it is immediately and automatically cancelled to prevent mala-fide travelers from using it. Even if you recover your passport, it must be replaced, as you will experience significant problems if you attempt to use it to travel.
