How to reissue the lost American immigrant passport?

What if I lose my passport in America? I'll report it to the local police in the United States.

The police will ask you for your driver's license and tell SSN. The police will ask about your loss. At this time, having a copy of the lost passport and visa will save a lot of things. The police will record the lost ID numbers one by one. Then I'll give you a small card with the report number on it, but it's not enough for a new passport. Official report records must be issued. This usually takes about a week and costs $65,438+00. If you need it urgently, you can discuss it with the police and they will help you as soon as possible.

Passport reissue

At present, China has an embassy and five consulates general in the United States, which are responsible for consular affairs within their respective jurisdictions. Applicants should submit their applications to the visa office within their jurisdiction.

The new passport is made by the certification center. In general, it takes about 1 month from the time the applicant applies to the library to make a certificate. In order to facilitate the applicant to obtain a new passport in time, the visa office of the embassy in the United States will publish the passport number prepared less than 1 month in time in the "Notice of Obtaining a New Passport". Please consult the consulate for details.

If the number of the evidence collection form you hold has not been published, please continue to pay attention to the update of the "Notice of New Passport Collection" or directly collect it according to the collection date indicated on the evidence collection form, without coming to the library to collect it in advance or consulting by phone, mail or fax.

For the applicant who holds the certificate marked "Call", if the passport has been made, it will also be announced in the "Notice of New Passport Collection", and the embassy will no longer notify the applicant by telephone.
