You will need this photo before you can advance through the process, so you should try to have it before you visit the Consular Section in person. The photograph must be a full frontal view of your face and in color. It should also measure 2 inches by 2 inches (5 cm by 5 cm) in size.
A driver’s license or expired passport can serve as identification, and a photocopy of your missing passport or birth certificate can serve as evidence of your U. S. citizenship.

A standard replacement is valid for a full ten years for adults or five years for minors. An emergency replacement can be produced more quickly and will only allow you to return to the U. S. or continue on your trip as scheduled. You will need to turn in your emergency passport upon re-entry to the United States if you want to receive a standard replacement.
Duty officers will only respond to serious emergencies. For instance, if you need to get home to the United States for urgent medical treatment, the officer will likely help you obtain your replacement passport.
