Note: There is no real position the government takes on what kind of information they expect to have reported on this form, aside from answering the questions clearly, honestly, and accurately.
Often, people would say, “well if I knew where my passport was, it wouldn’t be lost”. It is a good point, however, what they are trying to determine here is if there has been any inappropriate activity such as fraud or other criminal behavior or just negligence on the part of the passport holder or parent, or mor eimportantly wether it can be located.
So, it is best to just explain as much information as you possibly can to help them to determine if you might be able to find it, or if it is lost, is it in the hands of the wrong person.

SECOND OR ADDITONAL PASSPORT
.jpg?token=6c2229a53ac49c74344c07801d14f916)
Note: It is not commonly known that the U.S. State Department issues to qualified applicants 2nd or additional U.S. passports. They are legally issued under specific circumstances by the Federal government.
Normally, they are issued for the following two reasons:
a. Applicant is traveling to countries having known diplomatic conflict with each other, such as Israel and Saudi Arabia. If you have an Israeli embarkation stamp in your current passport, you cannot obtain or apply for a Saudi Arabian visa.
b. Applicant is traveling abroad so frequently and to countries that require visas that they are unable to meet deadlines. An example of this would be traveling to China, departing in 3–4 days and returning 10 days later, then departing to Russia 3 days after returning from China; this itinerary wouldn’t allow for a person to travel and get visas within the allotted time they have.
The State Department allows the issuance of the 2nd passport when evidence of such a travel conflict is stated and proven. This is achieved through formal requests and flight reservations showing travel intentions.
Description: The following must be true for you to use this method of obtaining a 2ND or Additional US Passport:
- a. You are in possession of a previously issued full-term (10-year) US Passport in fair condition, which still has at least 1 or 2 years remaining validity, or
- b. You are in possession of a previously issued 2nd or limited US passport, expired or still valid, and this passport was issued not more than 5 years ago.
- c. You were at least 16 years of age when this passport was issued.
- d. This passport was issued less than 15 years ago.
Submit your most current US Passport as described above. Copies are not acceptable.
Download, complete, and sign the State Department Letter Form. This form is a formal request for a 2nd passport, which is required by the YS State Department.

- a. Must be on the official letterhead of the company requesting the 2nd passport to be issued on your behalf
- b. Address the letter to the US State Department, Passport Services (no address required)
- c. Have the company formally request the 2nd passport and explain the circumstances.
- d. Male sue to be specific, respecting dates and international destination and if you do or do not need visas to these destinations.
