Hi. So I had 2 passports of mine stolen. My US passport and my ghana passport. How do I get the ghana passport back?

[@iVisa_travel]

Hello @man_the_nere The first thing you must do is report to the local police in order to get a police report. Also, there are extra steps you will need to do and here there are: gh.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/lost-or-stolen-passport/ Good luck!

[@dudesmarketing2087]

my question is... If you lost your passport do they have to re apply for a new one? or do they just give you the one you lost?

[@iVisa_travel]

Hello @dudesmarketing2087! If you've lost your passport, you will need to apply for a new one. Unfortunately, the lost passport cannot be retrieved or returned to you. You can initiate the application online through the Lost or Stolen Passport Reporting Tool on the U.S. Department of State website or by reaching out to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your area. For visa application and assistance, please visit our website for step-by-step guidance: bmrk.short.gy/zVSWZc . We hope you find this information helpful!

For detailed guidance and to ensure accurate information based on your specific situation, it's recommended to check the official U.S. Department of State website or contact the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. If you have any questions related to travel documentation or visa assistance, if you have more questions about your passport renewal or travel documentation for your next trip: bmrk.short.gy/yHdw9J We're here to help!

[@leorodz9587]

What if I don’t have the citizenship certificate

[@iVisa_travel]

Hello Leo! If you don't have your citizenship certificate, you can still apply for a replacement passport. In this case, you will need to provide as much evidence of your US citizenship as possible. We advise you to contact the US embassy, the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778 for guidance on what documents you can use to establish your US citizenship.

[@litzyeh1786]

what if I lost my ssn with it too😭

[@iVisa_travel]

Welcome to iVisa, @litzyeh1786 If you lost your US passport along with your Social Security card, it is important to take immediate action to protect your identity. You should report the loss to the nearest US embassy or consulate and apply for a replacement passport as soon as possible. Additionally, you should also contact the Social Security Administration to report the lost card and request a replacement. It is recommended that you monitor your credit report and bank accounts closely to ensure that there is no unauthorized activity.
