Lost in the U.S.: If your passport is lost or stolen in the United States, report the loss or theft immediately to the U.S. Department of State or nearest Passport Agency and to the local police. You can contact the State Department at:

U.S. Department of State
Passport Services
Consular Lost/Stolen Passport Section
1111 19th Street, NW, Suite 500
Washington, DC 20036
Telephone (any time, day or night): 202-955-0430

Lost abroad: If your passport is lost or stolen while you’re abroad, notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consular office as well as the U.S. Department of State (above).

Because a passport is a traveler’s principal means of identification abroad, its loss is very serious. To replace your passport, you must complete Form DS-11 (Application for Passport) and, if your passport had not expired, Form DS-64 (Statement Regarding Lost or Stolen Passport). Bringing along a photocopy of your passport's front page will make this crucial document easier to replace while traveling.
