If you require an emergency passport due to a lost/stolen passport or you have emergency travel, please contact the American Citizens Services unit at the U.S. Embassy , explaining your situation and the date by which you need your passport. Please note that emergency passports are not issued outside of normal business hours.

If you have emergency travel needs (traveling in less than 2 weeks), due to circumstances such as needing medical attention or replacing a passport that was lost or stolen while you were transiting Zambia, we can issue a limited validity emergency passport. This passport would be printed at our Embassy in Lusaka while you wait and will facilitate your immediate travel. You would then replace it with a full validity passport when you return. While you would pay for the emergency passport, there is no charge for the full-validity replacement, if you present your emergency passport within one year of issuance. Please contact us at: ACSLusaka@state.gov for more information about Emergency Passports.
