    • DS-64 lost/stolen report guidance
    • DS-11 application reviewed by a passport specialist
    • Required documents submitted to the passport office on your behalf — and the process expedited

    How it works

    Three steps. That's it.

    We prepare the paperwork and submit directly to the U.S. Department of State under our own license. You handle packing.

    01

    Place your order

    Choose your processing speed. Tell us when you're traveling — we work backward from that date.

    02

    Submit documents

    Complete your application online for review. We email a prepaid overnight FedEx label for everything we need.

    03

    Get your passport

    We submit to the U.S. State Department and overnight your new passport directly to your door.

    DIY vs. APVI

    When time matters most, process matters most.

    Lost passport replacement requires in-person appearance plus the DS-64 report — and any error compounds the delay. We get the right paperwork to the right window the first time.

    Without APVI

    The DIY path

    • Two forms required (DS-11 + DS-64)
    • Hard-to-find Acceptance Facility appointments

    • No clear path for imminent travel

    • Appointment at the right facility, scheduled fast

    Frequently asked

    Everything you need to know, in plain English.

    Still have questions? Call us at (800) 766-0452.

    Call us. We'll start a DS-64 lost/stolen report (which permanently invalidates the missing passport) and prepare your DS-11 replacement application before your appointment.

    Once a passport is reported lost or stolen, the State Department permanently invalidates it. Even if you find it, you cannot use it for travel — destroy it and use the new one.

    Yes. All lost/stolen replacements require in-person filing on form DS-11 along with citizenship evidence. We schedule the appointment for you.

    5 business days expedited is standard for lost/stolen passport replacements. Call us immediately if you're flying soon so we can get the process started.

    Contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate for an emergency travel document to get home, then call APVI to handle the full replacement once you're back.

    A certified U.S. birth certificate (with raised seal) or Certificate of Naturalization. Photocopies are not accepted. Your specialist confirms what works for your case.
