Lost or stolen passports / Emergency passports

U.S. citizens who have lost their U.S. passport or for whatever other reason are not in possession of a U.S. passport and who have an urgent need to travel can apply by appointment only for an emergency passport at the U.S. Embassy in Reykjavik, Iceland. Requests for emergency passport appointments are only accepted via email, not by telephone and not in person.

Before applying for an emergency passport, first check with the hotels, guest houses, or other places where you have stayed in Iceland to see if they have your passport. Likewise, check with tour and bus companies you have used, as they may be in possession of your passport. If you believe you may have lost your passport at the Keflavik Airport you can email the Keflavik Airport Police´s Lost and Found Department
sli@police.is. The Keflavik Airport Police´s Lost and Found Department is open Monday – Friday from 08:30 to 12:30.

If you are not able to recover your lost passport, you must apply for a new passport. Please send us an email as soon as possible at reykjavikconsular@state.gov and request an emergency appointment. Requests for emergency passport appointments are only accepted via email, not by telephone and not in person.

Before coming to the Embassy, you should:

Complete but do not sign the DS-11 passport application via the online form filler. You also need to complete the DS-64 Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen U.S. Passport.
