This form is used in conjunction with
a DS-11, "Application for a U.S. Passport", or submitted separately
to report loss or theft of a U.S. passport. Passport Services
collects the information when a U.S. citizen or non-citizen
national applies for a new U.S. passport and has been issued a
previous, still valid U.S. passport that has been lost or stolen,
or when a passport holder independently reports it lost or stolen.
Passport applicants can either download the form from the internet
or obtain one at any Passport Agency or Acceptance
Facility.
US Code:

USC 211a Name of Law: Authority to grant, issue, and verify
passports
Form DS-64 use is expected to
increase steadily in correlation with the number of passports in
circulation estimated through FY 2020 as shown in the Projections
table below. However, despite the fact that the number of
respondents increased from the previous submissions, the burden
time and cost to the applicant significantly decreased, from 87,889
hours for the previous submission to 53,617 hours for the current
one. The cost to the respondents significantly decreased as well
from $47,560 for the last estimate to only $4,632 for the current
one. This is due to the introduction of the electronic submission
of the DS-64 as applicants no longer need to pay or take the time
to mail in their DS-64s.
