Replacing a Lost or Stolen Passport
The U.S. Consulate Guadalajara encourages you to report the loss or theft of your passport to local authorities, and to obtain a police report.
Obtaining a replacement passport is a two-step process.
1. You must first report the loss or theft of your valid passport immediately to the nearest U.S. Passport Office or U.S. Embassy or Consulate using the DS-64 Form "Statement Regarding A Lost Or Stolen Passport."
2. Secondly, you must apply for a replacement passport.
More information is available at "Lost and Stolen Passports Abroad" from the U.S. State Department site.
In the event that your passport is lost or stolen while in Mexico please come in person to American Citizens Services between 8:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. Depending on your personal circumstances, the Passport office will process your application for a new full-validity or emergency (limited-validity) passport. Application requirements, including fees, for emergency passports are the same as those for full-validity passports.
If available, you will need proof of citizenship (an original or certified copy of a U.S. birth certificate, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a Naturalization certificate) and a photo ID, such as a driver's license or school ID.
The cost of the passport is $100 USD for adults and $ 85 USD for minors under age 16.
Emergency Passports
American Citizens Services will only issue emergency passports that are needed for urgent travel. Applicants requesting an emergency passport will be required to provide proof of immediate travel plans such as a valid itinerary or airline tickets, as well as an explanation for why the travel plans cannot be changed to allow sufficient time for the processing of a full-validity passport. In most cases, same-day issuance is possible for emergency passports. However, some cases require approval from the Department of State prior to issuance.
