If your Passport has been lost or stolen, we will help you get started in the right direction. Don't be overwhelmed. We are here to assist you each step of the way.

First, you will need to gather all of the required information (listed below) and then take them to the nearest Acceptance Agent to seal your documents and then send your package to us via Federal Express. You will need to complete one government form called the DS-11 as well as the LOA Form (which stands for Letter Of Authorization... it authorizes us to process your passport paperwork).

Your Package Checklist:

1. Complete the Universal Passport Order Form. Download it here. To determine our fees, click here for our payment calculator.

2. Complete, download & print the DS-11 Form from the government website. Here is the link: https://pptform.state.gov/FraudAbuseNotice.aspx?form After you submit that you have read the disclaimers on the first page, the second page will have 3 sections. Click “Continue” beneath the option that reads “Apply for a Passport Book”. NOTE: Do NOT sign the application form until a Passport Acceptance agent instructs you to do so.

3. Complete our LOA (Letter Of Authorization). NOTE: Leave the second blank empty -- it’s where you are authorizing us to handle the submission and pick-up of your passport documents (after they’ve been issued by the passport agency). Get LOA here. * IMPORTANT: Must print and complete 2 copies of the LOA.

4. A Statement regarding Lost, Stolen or Damaged Passport - Form DS-64. This form must be fully completed and signed. It is needed to prove to the U.S. State Department that you have had your Passport either lost or stolen. It must be completed in detail. Click here to get the form.

5. We need a proof of your U.S. citizenship. This would be one of the following: ORIGINAL certified copy of U.S. Birth Certificate; or a previous valid U.S. passport; or Report of Birth Abroad (Form FS-240); or Certification of Birth Abroad (Form DS-1350); or Certificate of Citizenship or Naturalization from USCIS. NOTE: A certified birth certificate has a registrar’s raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrar’s signature and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar’s office; which must be within 1 year of your birth. Please note that some short (abstract) versions of birth certificates may not be acceptable for passport purposes.

6. We need 2 passport photographs. Must be recent, identical and 2x2 inches.

7. We need a copy of your travel itinerary. A copy of either your airline ticket(s) or flight itinerary will serve as the required proof regarding your departure date.

8. We need your $135 check made payable to the U.S. Dept. of State, as well as a $25 CASH execution fee to the Acceptance Agent. This is the government fee. Your payment to us is for expediting of the processing of your paperwork, but the Federal Government will still require its standard fees for Lost or Stolen Passport Replacement. NOTE: Please indicate your Date of Birth in the memo field of your check.

9. We need your payment to us. You can do this one of two ways:
⁃ You can pay us Online, by Clicking Here or
⁃ You can mail us a check or provide your credit card information (refer to first step, above, for Universal Passport Order Form). To determine our fees, please use our payment calculator.

10. Take all of these documents to your nearest Acceptance Agent. While at the Agent, inform them that you will be using a courier service (that’s us!). The Acceptance Agent will stamp the envelope before you send it to us. Do not open the envelope after the Agent seals your document.
