Passport Applications in Person
If you do not have a passport because it was lost or stolen
The Consulate General accepts applications to replace passports that have been lost, stolen, or mutilated (damaged).
An applicant without a passport, due to loss or theft, must come to the Consulate General in Amsterdam during our regular opening hours. If you have to travel within the next few days no appointment is necessary and you can visit during our morning opening hours (8:30 to 11:30 am).
You are to submit:
1. Appear in person and sign the passport application,
form DS-11, before a consular officer.
2. Complete and sign the:
Statement Regarding Lost Or Stolen Passport (DS-64).
3. Bring (if you can) some form of identification (e.g. driver’s license, residence card) as well as documentation that establishes your citizenship (e.g. birth or naturalization certificate, an expired passport).
4. Bring two identical photos (5cm x 5cm on a white background)
5. Pay the appropriate fee.
Replacement passports can be issued within 10 working days. In cases where the applicant must travel urgently, the Consulate can issue an 'emergency passport' which is valid for one year. This passport is valid for all travel. This 'emergency passport' can be exchanged later for a full validity passport at an embassy or consulate overseas or at a Passport Agency in the United States. See our section on replacing an emergency passport.
Report a lost/stolen passport to the police
A U.S. passport is a valuable document, not just for you the rightful bearer. Therefore always report the loss or theft of a U.S. passport to the local police authorities to avoid Identity theft! How can someone steal your identity? Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, Social Security number, credit card number or other identifying information, without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes.
