What to do if your passport is lost or stolen: You should immediately report your passport as lost or stolen and it will be canceled. You should only report your U.S. passport lost or stolen if the original, physical version of the passport book or passport card has been lost or stolen. Once you report a U.S. passport lost or stolen, it is invalid and cannot be used for international travel. Where to find more information about passport issuance and renewals: Most travelers can renew passports by mail or in person at a [passport acceptance facility.](https://iafdb.travel.state.gov/) Information about necessary documents and the submission process can be found on the State Department’s passport renewal page [here](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/have-passport/renew.html).
