Few things spark panic like realizing your passport is missing in a foreign country. The first step: contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. They can issue an emergency passport to get you home.
Before you go, keep digital and printed copies of your passport ID page. These backups make the process smoother and faster. Next, file a police report if required by local authorities—it may be needed for embassy paperwork.
Replacement passports abroad are typically valid for a shorter time, but they’ll get you home safely. Once back in the U.S., you can apply for a full-validity passport.
