Passport of Deceased Person - What To Do With Passport
Have the passport of a deceased person and do not know what to do with it? According to the
NPIC - National Passport Information Center, you do not have to do anything. Of course, there are a couple of things you can do if you want to.
Disposition of Passport for Deceased Person/Family Member
The passport of a person who has died can be kept as a memento if you choose, or you can return it for cancellation.
If you choose to have the passport cancelled and returned to you or
destroyed, you should return the passport to the CLASP unit. A copy of
the Certificate of Death is required along with the passport. If you
want the cancelled passport returned, you must include a letter stating
that request.

cancelled/returned passport (if applicable) to the following address:
