If you’ve got at least three weeksYou’ll be OK. On the State Department website, at travel.state.gov/passports, first report your passport lost and then follow the process for a replacement.
On the website, you’ll find a list of 7,500 passport acceptance facilities — including post offices, public libraries and clerk of court offices — where you can make an appointment or, in most cases, come during scheduled walk-in hours.
