Okay. Thanks for the link.It's not a common problem but it does happen. Unless you can prove you're an American citizen, a consulate is not likely to help, particular if you have been deported.Flopper,
I haven't heard of this being a common problem. Why can't the U.S. consulates assist these American citizens? Can you supply links with some details?

I was thinking about what I would do if, for example, I was in Mexico, or some other country, and all my ID was lost or stolen. There must be some standing provision for such a circumstance, which I will assume occasionally happens.
You have your ID faxed to you. You go to the American Consulate and get a new passport. BTW, in Japan, when you are staying at a hotel, they take your passport. Now way you can lose it that way. They give it back when you leave.
What would you do if you were in Hawaii and lost your id? How do you board the plane?
