Form DS-86 Statement of Non-Receipt of a U.S. Passport

HOW TO USE THIS FORM

This form is used when you do not receive your U.S. passport in the mail. You have 90 days from the date that your U.S. passport book
or card was issued to report that you have not received it in the mail. If you do not report within 90 days of the issue date, you will be
required to reapply and submit the full passport fee(s). Unless you have immediate travel plans, it is recommended that you wait
14 days from the date your passport was issued before you submit this statement.
Before submitting this statement:
1. Check the status of your U.S. passport application by contacting the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778
(TDD/TTY: 1-888-874-7793) or [email protected]. If the passport was mailed to you, ask for the date the passport was issued,
tracking number, and the name and address of the passport agency that issued your passport.
2. Contact the shipping company or postal service, online or by phone, and use the tracking number to track the envelope.
3. Complete all sections of this statement except for the section titled “Issuing Office Only.” You must submit a clear photocopy of the
front and back of your valid government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license.
4. Mail this statement and photocopy of your photo identification to the passport agency that issued the passport you did not receive.
Once your statement is received, the U.S. passport book or card that was reported as not received will be cancelled and
cannot be used for travel. If the U.S. passport book or card reported in this statement arrives at a later time, please call the National
Passport Information Center for instructions on where to send your passport.
If you applied for your U.S. passport book or card while outside of the United States, please contact your local U.S. embassy or
consulate for instructions on where to send your passport.
PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST IDENTITY THEFT - REPORT THE NON-RECEIPT OF YOUR PASSPORT BOOK OR CARD
A United States citizen or non-citizen national may not normally have more than one valid or potentially valid U.S. passport book or
more than one valid or potentially valid U.S. passport card at a time. Therefore, when you do not receive your U.S. passport book or
card in the mail, you must submit form DS-86, Statement of Non-receipt of a U.S. Passport.
The information that you provide on this form will be entered into the Consular Lost and Stolen Passport System. This system is
designed to prevent the misuse of the U.S. passport book or card that you did not receive in the mail. Passport(s) reported as not
received will be cancelled and cannot be used for travel. Anyone using the U.S. passport book or card reported on this form, including
yourself, may be detained upon entry into the Unites States. If you find the U.S. passport book or card you reported as not
received, report it as found, and submit it for cancellation. You may not use that passport book or card for travel.
