Can you use a ripped passport?

Passports classed as wear and tear can be accepted as evidence of nationality and identity.

How do I replace a lost mutilated passport?

To replace a lost passport, you will need to apply in person and include the following:

1. Form DS-64 (Statement regarding lost or stolen passport)
2. Form DS-11 (Application for U.S. passport)
3. Citizenship evidence* (e.g. birth or naturalization certificate)
4. A photocopy of citizenship evidence.
5. Present ID (in person)

Can I get a new passport if I lost my old one?

If your previous passport was lost or stolen, you'll have to apply for a new one in person. You'll need to bring two forms in this case: the standard DS-11 passport application and Form DS-64, which asks you to describe what happened to your little blue book. Unfortunately, a replacement passport isn't free.

Is a torn passport valid?

A severely damaged passport is no longer valid. It can't be used for travel, and it can't even be used to prove your identity and US citizenship. Passports that are badly damaged enough to be considered mutilated need to be replaced via the Mutilated Passport procedure.
