What should I do if I lose my passport when studying in the United States?

Go to the local police station in the United States to report the case. The police will ask the informant for identification and inform SSN, and a policeman will ask about the 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 give a small card with the report number on it, but it is not enough to get a new passport. Official report records must be issued. This usually takes about a week and costs $65,438+00.
