How do I replace my child's passport that was lost or stolen while overseas?
Full Question:
A minor child and one parent have traveled outside the United States and the child's passport has been lost or stolen. Can the other parent (who is still in the U.S.) apply and obtain the minor child's passport without the child being physically present at the time of application? Please note that the child is still out of the country.

Answer:
You need to contact Overseas Citizens Services at (202) 647-5225 at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. providing as much information as possible about the person who needs passport services abroad. This will assist them in trying to verify the person's previous passport, clearing the person's name through the Department Passport Name Check System, and relaying this information to the U.S. embassy or consulate. The parent traveling with the child must apply for a new passport at the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
