How to Find a Passport Number
- 1). Locate the paperwork that came with your passport. There may have been a wallet-sized card that had your passport number on it as well as the number to the main federal passport issuance office.
- 2). The paperwork instructed you to sign your passport and make a few copies of the front page that has your picture on it and keep one copy in a safe place while giving the other copies to trusted friends or relatives. If you followed these instructions, then contact the friends or relatives that you gave copies to.
- 3). If you did not do any of the above, contact the travel agency you booked your last trip with. Your travel agent should be able to access your account and give you your passport number. If you made an online account with the agency, log in and search for the last itinerary you confirmed.
- 4). If you cannot locate your passport, the best thing to do is to report it lost or stolen by filing form DS-64 with the U.S. Department of State, Passport Services, Consular, Lost/Stolen Passport Section, 1111 19th St. NW, Suite 500, Washington, D.C., 20036. You can also call the State Travel Department at 1-877-487-2778 or go to http://travel.state.gov to do this. If you've lost the passport or it has been stolen, there is no fee for them to verify you had a passport previously issued.
