Why: Embajada means embassy. Older courses say Embajada Americana, but americano can mean anyone from the Americas, so name the country. Your embassy or consulate helps with lost passports.

Huh, didn't know that: FSI's text also has 'sección consular' for the consular section.

The dad joke
Why did the passport go to the embassy? It was feeling a little stamped out.
