Hello,

 

My wife is about to renew her US passport book. She had a US passport card but can't seem to find it anywhere. It may have been lost or misplaced in a move. However, she's not planning to get a new card just the book.

 

When she applies for the new passport book, does she need to mention the lost card at all? In her application form she is only going to select renewal for the passport book.

 

I imagine it's the same as someone who has their Card but doesn't feel the need to renew it. Would they need to send it back even though they're not getting a new one or can they just keep it as a keepsake?

You are required to report a lost card, just like you would report a lost book. It's a easy online process to report it lost or destroyed. I'm not sure there are any penalties for not reporting it, but it is required. The information is on the passport website.

Just wanted to bump my own thread as I'm a bit confused as to the process of reporting the US passport card lost online.

 

When I follow the link to report the card lost, it takes me to the passport application which then asks me if I have ever been issued a passport book and/or card before. When I l click both, it asks if I still have the card. When I click, lost it asks me if I've reported it lost.

 

This is where I'm confused...I'm trying to report it lost. And it just seems like I'm going through the same DS-82/DS-11 online form.

 

Anyone able to clear this up for me? I'm planning to call on Monday but would love to hear any advice if anyone has been through this.

Here are options for you.

I'm aware of the form, thanks. I'm trying to take care of this online if possible since I'm outside of the US and the postal service is slow. 

 

Any chance you have insight into my question? Specifically filing it online like option 1 in the form.

Ahh ok. Just my opinion.... I would do sort of option #1... submit the ds64 with the ds-82.
