My passport was stolen from my car on a Saturday. The car was broken into and ALL my documents were taken. Never leave your passport anywhere where it can be taken. Unfortunately, I had to wait until Monday to get my passport. I arrived at the American Embassy at 7:30 and was first in line. All the necessary forms are on the internet. You can complete them and save them to a pdf. My hotel was able to print the pdf. The embassy has a photomat for your photo picture. Wait until you get to the embassy, because they will not accept the photos taken in the Metro photomat. You have to present your completed forms with a picture, take a number and wait to be called. There are two interviews. I had my new temporary passport by 10:00 am. I am so happy I am an American and was able to recover from this minor disaster so quickly. Thanks to all professional, pleasant, intelligent staff of the American Embassy in Paris. Jo-Ann Herrick
