Lost or Stolen Passports

If your passport with a U.S. visa (valid or expired) is stolen or lost, even if you have no immediate travel plans, please report the theft immediately to the Embassy by email to LimaNIV@state.gov.  Please include your full name as it appears on your visa and a copy of the police report if one is available.

For a new visa you must make a new visa appointment.  Visit the How to Apply section for instructions on how to make a visa appointment.  If you have emergency travel, please visit the Expedited Appointments section.

Please note that once your passport with a U.S. non-immigrant visa is reported lost or stolen to the Embassy, the visa will be electronically cancelled and you will not be able to use that visa to travel to the United States, even if it is later found.

For more information please visit the Lost and Stolen Passports, Visas, and Arrival-Departure Records section of the Travel.State.gov website.
