Lost Items

If you lose something in a public place or when using public transportation, the first step you should take is to report the lost property to the police or to the lost & found office in the subway station.


In the event you lose your passport, notify the appropriate embassy or consulate. If you lose traveler's checks or credit cards, report this loss to the company which issued them to you as soon as possible.


At the internet lost & found center, "lost114", you can report detailed information on lost items and can search for information on lost items which the center keeps.


If you purchased traveler's insurance, you can receive help by calling the phone number indicated on your insurance or by calling AEA International Korea Ltd..


If you reported your loss to the police or to the lost & found center, don't forget to keep the police report or a copy certifying the incident so that you will be able to use it to claim damages later.
