To prevent misuse or identity theft, the loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported immediately to the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.  U.S. citizens may also report that directly to the Department of State’s Passport Office.  To replace a lost or stolen passport, U.S. citizens must appear in person in the Consular Section and present the following:

1. Minor’s original birth certificate or original Consular Report of Birth Abroad.
2. Proof of citizenship (U.S. birth certificate, naturalization certificate, certificate of citizenship or Consular Report of Birth Abroad).
3. Proof of identity (a U.S. government-issued or a foreign photo ID).
4. Both parents’ photo IDs or one parent’s ID along with signed and notarized DS-3053 (PDF 421KB), document showing sole custody.
5. A police document certifying that the passport loss/theft has been reported to the Bulgarian police authorities.
6. One photograph 5 cm x 5 cm (not older than six months).
7. A completed but not signed DS-11 Form.
8. A completed and signed DS-64 Form.
