I lost my passport, can I leave the USA? [closed]

I had lost my passport a couple weeks ago and what I want to know is that if I can leave the USA without a passport. More specifically I am going to Colombia.

Best Answer

If you are US citizen, no. The airplane won't let you on board. If you are a Colombian citizen, and the USA doesn't want you to stay in the USA, they will likely find a way to get you to Colombia without a passport. If you are citizen of an unrelated country (say British), the USA won't mind, but the airline won't let you on board.

You should immediately report your passport as lost. Possibly to the police (just in case someone finds your passport and later intentionally drops it at a crime scene), and your embassy if you are not US citizen, who will tell you who else should know.
