I have a friend who had a death in the family and must go to the DR to attend the funeral ASAP.
Problem is, he lost his passport and social security card. He has a copy of the ss card, but not the original. He does not have his US passport number.
He has his birth certificate (born in the DR) and current driver's license.
Questions-
1) Does he need the original social security card to apply for a new passport?
2) On the US Passport Agency website, it states he could claim a lost/stolen passport right on their site. Does he need to go to the nearest police precinct to report it stolen also? I heard this is something one had to do when one loses their passport.
3) At this late a date, could he get a new passport from one day to the next at the US Passport Agency? Do they take walk-ins or does he need to make an appointment? He needs to leave by this coming Tuesday. April 3rd.
4) At the US Passport Agency, they ask for proof of citizenship. What documents does he need to fulfill this requirement, since he was born in the DR but is a US citizen?
Thanks in advance.
