Travel Document      

Steps to Take

• File a report with the local police agency in your area and get a copy of the police report
• Contact your country's nearest consulate, embassy, or passport agency for a replacement passport (or emergency travel document, if possible)

• If your passport contained your entry visa, report the lost / stolen visa to the U.S. consulate that issued the visa, following instructions provided by the U.S. State Department.
• NOTE: if your passport / visa are found or recovered after it was reported as lost or stolen, the visa cannot be used for future travel to the U.S. and must be replaced.
• If you are outside the U.S., apply for a new visa at your local U.S. consulate. You will not be able to re-enter the U.S. until you obtain a new entry visa.
• If you are inside the U.S., consult ISSS. If you leave the U.S. in the future, you will need to get a new visa before returning to the U.S.
• Read our Renewing Your Visa page for more details about applying for a new visa.

• Contact ISSS at oisss@brown.edu (or your J-1 sponsor, if your DS-2019 was issued by another sponsor).
• F-1 / J-1 students: submit a request for a replacement document through the OISSS Gateway; persons in other visa classifications should email ISSS for detailed instructions.
• Other employees (e.g., H-1B, O-1): contact ISSS.

• Apply for a replacement EAD card by filing Form I-765 with USCIS
• Discuss replacement procedures with your ISSS advisor
